What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth, encourages innovation, and allows me to utilize my data analysis skills to drive impactful solutions.

As a detail-oriented and analytical IT professional, I have a strong foundation in data analysis and business intelligence. My passion for continuous learning drives me to leverage data to solve real-world problems effectively. Currently, I work as a Data Analyst at Evolution Group, where I develop and maintain integration solutions with external client systems, utilizing SQL coding to extract, analyze, and manipulate data.

Previously, I served as a Software Developer at XET, where I designed, developed, and tested software applications. My experience includes digitizing manual forms to streamline processes and conducting unit testing to ensure software quality. I hold a BTech in Information Technology Software Development from Durban University of Technology and have completed several certifications in data and analytics, including Azure Data Scientist Associate and Power BI Data Analyst.
