Loyd Koome
@loydkoome
Data analyst and IT support specialist building predictive and NLP solutions.
What I'm looking for
I’m a statistics and information technology graduate building data-driven solutions that improve decision-making and operational efficiency. From my internship at Kenya Forest Service, I collected and validated field data with KoboCollect, designed survey forms with validation rules, and cleaned datasets using Excel and SQL to support accurate reporting.
In my IT support role, I supported ERP systems across Finance, Inventory, and Sales modules, maintained LAN/WAN connectivity (TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP), and managed database backups and recovery while using SQL and Crystal Reports for reporting. I also turn data into products through projects like an NLP-based IT Helpdesk ticket classifier (85% accuracy with Python and Scikit-learn) and a loan default prediction model, plus a full-stack job management web app using Django, React, REST APIs, PostgreSQL, and Tailwind CSS.
