What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, where I can leverage my data science skills to drive impactful solutions and contribute to a dynamic team.

I am an innovative and results-driven Data Scientist with a strong foundation in data analysis, machine learning, and software development. I graduated from Moringa School's intensive Data Science and Analysis boot camp, which significantly enhanced my analytical and problem-solving skills. I am proficient in delivering data-driven insights and solutions, and I pride myself on my excellent interpersonal abilities and commitment to efficiency and team collaboration.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led various data-driven projects, including a turnaround time analysis for DHL and a predictive model for flu vaccine uptake. My experience as a Data Scientist at Control Tech has allowed me to lead data wrangling, API development, and exploratory data analysis processes, while also building machine learning models and dashboards for fleet optimization. I am passionate about utilizing data to drive strategic decisions and improve operational efficiency.
