What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to apply my data analysis skills in healthcare, fostering a collaborative environment that encourages growth and innovation.

I am a biostatistics graduate with a strong passion for leveraging statistical and data science techniques to solve real-world problems, particularly in the healthcare sector. My educational background from Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology has equipped me with the necessary skills in R, Python, and data visualization, enabling me to tackle complex data challenges effectively.

During my recent attachment at AMPATH, I successfully applied the Random Forest Algorithm to predict infant mortality rates in Kenya. This project not only honed my technical skills but also allowed me to conduct thorough data preprocessing and develop a predictive model that achieved 94% accuracy. I am committed to deriving actionable insights from data to guide public health interventions and improve healthcare outcomes.
