Monica Masae
@monicamasae
I am a data-driven analyst building actionable insights and interactive dashboards.
What I'm looking for
I am a data-driven professional with a strong foundation in data analysis, visualization, and database management, skilled in Python, R and SQL. My web-development background enables me to create interactive, user-friendly dashboards and data tools that support decision-making.
I have delivered technical content and reviews that reached over 30,000 readers and built projects such as an EduMap prioritization dashboard, a Superstore sales analysis with an R Shiny app, and Streamlit visualizations. I focus on producing clear, optimized solutions—whether via automated reports, interactive dashboards, or reproducible notebooks.
I am pursuing a BSc in Data Science part-time and seek opportunities where I can apply statistical modeling, visualization, and data engineering skills to drive impact, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and continue learning.
