Experienced data analyst skilled in R programming and data visualization.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated data analyst with a strong background in leveraging data to drive informed decision-making. My expertise lies in R programming, where I have successfully analyzed complex datasets to derive actionable insights. At Phoenix Analytics, I conduct exploratory data analysis on sales data, utilizing statistical methods to identify trends and anomalies that influence business strategies.
In addition to my professional experience, I co-organize R-Ladies Nairobi, fostering a vibrant community of R users. Through monthly meetups, I facilitate knowledge sharing and skill development among participants, contributing to the growth of data science in Kenya. My commitment to continuous learning and collaboration has allowed me to build strong relationships within the local data science community, enhancing the quality of our training sessions.
My volunteer work has also been impactful, where I developed dashboards to visualize critical health data, such as vaccination rates and mental health statistics. These projects not only honed my technical skills but also reinforced my passion for using data to inform public health strategies and improve community well-being.
