IGNATIUS MARIA

@ignatiusmaria

Data Analyst focused on health data, M&E, and dashboard reporting to drive program decisions.

What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can use SQL/Python, Excel dashboards, and HMIS-focused insights to improve data quality and reporting. I want to support health programmes with M&E, anomaly detection, and actionable recommendations for programme decisions.

I’m a data-oriented professional with hands-on experience in data collection, validation, dashboard reporting, and HMIS management across 23+ health facilities. I turn complex health datasets into clear, actionable recommendations that help teams make stronger programme decisions.

In my recent role as a Technical & Planning Officer, I conducted Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) across primary health centres, led Quality Assurance (QA) visits, and produced field reports for management review. I also executed a financial audit of health facilities, reviewing expenditure records and issuing corrective recommendations.

I bring practical field experience to my analytics work, including UNICEF-supported health insurance enrolment at an IDP camp and UNFPA-supported family planning outreach. I’ve also supported health records training and documentation to strengthen health management information systems at facility level.

I’m IBM/Coursera-certified in SQL, Python, Excel, and Data Visualisation, and I use tools like Tableau, Power BI, Google Looker Studio, SPSS, KoboCollect, and DHIS2. I enjoy finding data anomalies, strengthening data quality, and delivering dashboards and reports that stakeholders can confidently act on.
