Data Analyst at FSI Outsourcing who built a solar forecasting model with an R-squared of 0.942.

Zambia
Message

At FSI Outsourcing, I analyzed and transformed data in Excel and SQL, then built dashboards and reports to surface trends and support business decisions.

For my day-ahead solar radiation forecasting project, I engineered 19 features from 133,823 meteorological records and evaluated five models. The best-performing GRU model achieved an R-squared of 0.942.

At The University of Zambia, I teach data science and machine learning and guide students through reproducible analytical workflows. I also built a claims system using Django REST Framework, React, PostgreSQL and Docker, with automated validation projected to reduce processing time by an estimated 65%.
