South AfricaWhat I'm looking for
I am an achievement-oriented, entrepreneurial professional with a strong aptitude for mathematical and logical fields. My experience as a Data Analyst Intern at RIIS involved cleaning and analyzing data to provide insights on the COVID-19 pandemic's impact on the mining industry. I excelled in data visualization and presentation, effectively communicating key findings to industry leaders.
In addition to my analytical skills, I have a background in accounting and financial systems development. As a Junior Accountant at Aluselect, I streamlined accounting processes and developed innovative Excel-based systems that significantly reduced costs. My entrepreneurial spirit led me to create financial information systems and portfolio optimization software, showcasing my ability to blend technical skills with business acumen.
Currently, I am enhancing my expertise through a BSc in Mathematics and Computer Science while providing tutoring in financial technologies. I am committed to continuous learning and applying my skills to drive impactful solutions in data analysis and software development.
