What I'm looking for

I’m looking for remote roles where I can drive data-informed decisions and complex project delivery for global organizations—leveraging end-to-end project management, stakeholder leadership, and analytics to turn transformation initiatives into measurable outcomes.

I’m a “Project Manager & Data Analyst” with 10+ years of experience across government technology, operations, and ICT infrastructure. PMP-certified, I’ve delivered high-profile digital transformation initiatives including Lagos State’s LAG-ID smart-city program and Nigeria’s representation at GITEX Dubai (2023–2025).

I combine strong technical foundations in SQL, Power BI, Python, and advanced Excel with executive communication and stakeholder leadership to drive end-to-end delivery. From coordinating multi-stakeholder workshops and policy briefs for a 20M+ resident state to leading data-hub aggregation for identity verification, transit payments, and social services, I’m focused on remote-ready roles where I can enable complex, data-informed project outcomes for global organizations.
