What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a data analyst or data scientist role where I can apply data cleaning, analysis, dashboarding, and machine learning skills to support data-driven decision-making.

I've supported research data work at Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI), cleaning, organizing, and validating large datasets for accurate downstream analysis. I also built Power BI and Excel dashboards that helped research teams interpret and report findings.

My projects turn data into practical tools, including a SACCO loan analytics dashboard that classifies borrower risk and tracks repayment, defaults, and portfolio value. I also built a crop-yield prediction web app using machine learning to support food-security decision-making.

I'm skilled in Python, SQL, Excel, Power BI, exploratory data analysis, and data cleaning. My background in research support, data entry, administration, and accounting has strengthened my accuracy, documentation, and confidential-data handling.
