What I'm looking for

I'm looking to use data analysis, dashboards, forecasting, and automation to improve business performance and support strategic, data-driven decision-making.

At Lush Hair Nigeria, I analyze regional sales trends to improve operational performance, designing Power BI dashboards that give teams real-time visibility into business results.

I've improved operational efficiency by 15%, developed Annual Operating Plans to forecast product growth, and automated recurring reports in Google Sheets to reduce manual effort and improve accuracy.

Previously at Century Gateway Technologies, I consolidated Sales, Marketing, and Finance data, produced executive reports and quarterly forecasts, and built predictive models for business planning. My analytical insights supported a successful business turnaround within two months.

I use SQL, Python, R, Power BI, Tableau, Excel, and Google Sheets to turn complex data into clear recommendations, KPI reporting, and decision-ready insights.
