What I'm looking for

I seek a mid-level analytics role where I can lead data-driven automation and BI, grow technical skills (cloud/ML), and support sustainable energy goals.

I am a data and finance professional with 3+ years of experience in data analysis, financial reporting, and business intelligence across diverse industries. I combine technical tools and financial acumen to produce accurate, stakeholder-ready reports.

At Winfield Africa I built scalable SQL data pipelines and automated reporting workflows using Excel VBA and Power Automate, reducing processing time by 41% and accelerating decision-making by 23%. I also designed real-time inventory systems that supported a 7% sales increase.

I have led and mentored a team of four analysts, enforced data quality checks, and reconciled large datasets to improve reporting reliability and audit readiness. I apply statistical and predictive analytics to guide pricing and operational strategies.

I am currently pursuing an MSc in Data Science to deepen expertise in cloud platforms, predictive analytics, and machine learning, and I am passionate about leveraging data for sustainable, low-carbon energy solutions across Africa.
