Harold Kunda

I am a Computer Science graduate and Data Specialist operating directly at the intersection of data engineering, information management, and business intelligence. Throughout my career, I have specialized in managing complex, large-scale data architectures and digital health portals—including REDCap, SmartCare, DHIS2, and ODK. My professional passion lies in building seamless, secure data ecosystems, and I excel at translating structural requirements into practical database solutions, configuring validation logic, and writing automation scripts.

My core competencies span the complete data lifecycle: executing data extraction using SQL, Python, and Java, performing rigorous data cleaning, and handling advanced data analysis through Power BI, SPSS, and Excel. Beyond analysis, I am also experienced in infrastructure maintenance, managing data backup protocols to ensure disaster recovery and strict data privacy governance to protect sensitive records. Among my notable career achievements, I engineered data-driven tracking strategies that achieved a 90%+ participant retention rate over a 12-month longitudinal framework and established secure remote data transmission setups that guaranteed 100% data preservation and system redundancy.

I am deeply interested in remote-first roles as a Data Analyst, Data Management Specialist, M&E or Data Officer where data integrity and governance are paramount. Operating from Lusaka, Zambia (CAT / UTC+2 / CET+1), I offer perfect timezone alignment with European and global teams and bring a highly disciplined, proactive approach to asynchronous collaboration.
