@marcelokorie
I build analytics, actuarial, and automation solutions that improve insurance and transport operations.
What I'm looking for
I'm a data and actuarial analytics leader who has delivered operational improvements across Tracsis, African Alliance Insurance, and Mizala. At Tracsis, I analyse over 100,000 transport data points monthly and achieve 97% accuracy in fare evasion detection.
I've built Power BI dashboards and R-based ETL pipelines that reduced data processing and reporting time by 80%. In insurance, I improved technical operations efficiency by 70%, claims accuracy by 15%, and reinsurance recovery by 30% through data-driven analysis.
As Mizala's co-founder and Data Analyst, I developed analytics infrastructure and a sales prediction machine learning model that increased revenue by 20% and doubled the customer base. I also mentor analysts and translate complex analysis into clear narratives for executives, clients, and stakeholders.
