What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, encourages collaboration, and offers opportunities for professional growth in data science.

With over 7 years of experience in data science, I specialize in mathematics, statistics, programming, and machine learning. My journey has been marked by a commitment to deriving insights and building predictive models that drive business impact. I thrive in collaborative environments and am dedicated to continuous learning and tackling diverse challenges.

In my current role as a Data Analyst at Blankson’s Linen Hire and Laundry LTD, I successfully engineered a customer database that reduced invoicing time by 90% and designed a Tableau dashboard that saved £5,000 monthly in transportation costs. My previous experience as an Assistant Statistician for the Local Government Service allowed me to drive a 110% increase in internally generated funds, showcasing my ability to leverage data for significant financial outcomes.
