Data Analyst and Petroleum Engineer who turns complex data into actionable insights and teaches others to succeed.
NigeriaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a highly analytical, results-driven Data Analyst and Petroleum Engineer who loves turning complex data into meaningful insights that solve problems, improve processes, and support better learning outcomes. I combine domain knowledge with teaching experience to help teams move from data to decisions with clarity and confidence.
In my DataAnalytics instruction roles, I’ve led remote and hybrid curriculum delivery, built and updated syllabi and course materials, created assessments, and provided ongoing office-hours support—driving strong learner progress. In industry work, I analyzed large educational datasets (24,735 students, 471 schools) using MySQL to assess performance, delivered operational tracking improvements with Excel (15% less data entry time), and helped onboard stakeholders to a result management system that reduced manual effort by 40% while mentoring 500+ students. I also build machine learning solutions (customer churn, fraud detection, and pipeline leak detection), engineered features for better performance, and deploy interactive dashboards using Streamlit—staying hands-on with end-to-end pipelines and continuous improvement.
