What I'm looking for

I seek a mid-level role applying M&E and BI skills to build automated dashboards and evaluation frameworks, influence strategic decisions, collaborate with impact-driven teams, and grow in data science and program evaluation.

I am a Monitoring and Evaluation professional and data analyst with over two years of hands-on experience building BI solutions and performance reporting across public sector and nonprofit organizations. I specialize in translating complex data into clear, actionable insights.

At Kenya Airports Authority I built and maintained 6+ Power BI dashboards tracking 20+ infrastructure projects, automated reporting processes increasing timeliness and accuracy by 98%, and developed centralized Excel KPI databases that reduced reporting errors by 40%. I co-led development of a productivity index used in quarterly reviews across 21 aerodromes.

I have designed program evaluation frameworks for 1,200+ students, streamlined multi-platform workflows, and supported stakeholder engagement for evidence-based decision-making. I work collaboratively, prioritize practical impact, and seek roles where I can scale data-driven monitoring, evaluation, and BI practices.
