Project manager and analytics expert driving data-led transformation in healthcare and finance.
KenyaWhat I'm looking for
I am a Project Manager and Analytics professional with over seven years of experience bridging business needs and IT solutions, primarily in healthcare and financial sectors. I combine project delivery skills with analytics to drive measurable outcomes.
I specialize in requirements gathering, process optimization, stakeholder management, and digital transformation, and I am proficient in SQL, Python, Power BI, MS Excel, and AWS. I have led projects from scope definition through delivery using Agile and PMP-aligned practices.
My recent work includes managing a large hospital renovation (Ksh 176,000,000 budget) and operationalizing a TVET-registered training institute with 63 students across four cohorts. As a data scientist, I implemented systems that improved patient flow, raised NPS from 20 to 50, and supported COHSASA Level 5 accreditation.
I pursue continuous learning (Data Science & Machine Learning, PMP, Monitoring & Evaluation) and focus on delivering cost-efficient, risk-mitigated projects that improve operational performance and patient outcomes.
