Griffin Otieno
@griffinotieno
Usability and QA Test Analyst applying fraud-investigation methods to software testing and AI evaluation.
What I'm looking for
At Emirates Group Security, I examine travel documents and passenger data for inconsistencies, investigate incidents, and write evidence-based reports with findings and recommendations. I also built automated Power BI reporting that turns operational data into management dashboards.
At Kenya Airways, I verified travel document authenticity and traced data discrepancies using airline systems. I wrote detection procedures and training materials adopted by the unit.
On personal projects, I use AI coding assistants to build web apps and trading tools, set requirements, test each build, and debug until it works. These include Gatekeeper Six, which reads live market data from Deriv's public WebSocket API, and Aurum Desk, deployed and maintained on Netlify.
I bring document verification and investigation experience to usability testing and AI evaluation, including fact-checking, response ranking, and clear written findings. I'm Google Data Analytics certified and available for remote, freelance, or part-time work.
