What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to utilize my analytical skills in a collaborative environment, with opportunities for growth and learning.

My name is Jacques van Rensburg, and I am an aspiring data analyst with a robust foundation in business management. I have recently completed a Data Analytics Immersion Course through CareerFoundry, where I honed my skills in data analysis, Python, SQL, and data visualization. My final portfolio project showcased my ability to apply supervised learning, clustering, and time series analysis, demonstrating my commitment to leveraging data for impactful decision-making.

With a Bachelor of Commerce Honours in Business Management from Nelson Mandela University, I possess a comprehensive understanding of financial management, strategic planning, and corporate governance. My professional experience includes roles in administration and financial modeling, where I developed strong analytical skills and a keen eye for detail. I am passionate about using data to drive business success and am eager to contribute my expertise to a dynamic team.
