What I'm looking for

I'm aspiring to become a leading data scientist and want to leverage data to support decision-making.

At Oforikrom Municipal Assembly, I conducted field data collection on businesses to support revenue mobilization and local economic planning. I cleaned, validated, and analyzed datasets, and assisted with statistical reports and presentations for municipal decision-making.

During internships at Atwima Nwabiagya North Municipal Assembly, I supported revenue data collection and reporting, then assisted with compiling and analyzing land administration data.

For my KNUST research project, I explored PCA, KPCA, T-SNE, and ISOMAP in relation to support vector regression. The work highlighted trade-offs, including the possibility that dimensionality reduction may reduce predictive accuracy and computational efficiency.

I'm pursuing an MPhil in Mathematical Statistics at KNUST after completing a BSc in Statistics there. I use Excel, R, and SPSS for data analysis, visualization, and reporting, and have beginner-level experience with Python and SQL.
