Aspiring data analyst pursuing a Professional Certificate in Data Analytics, using SQL and BigQuery to clean and validate datasets.
South AfricaWhat I'm looking for
I'm pursuing a Professional Certificate in Data Analytics and a BCom in Information Technology at Mancosa. My studies have given me foundations in business systems, database management, and financial accounting.
In the Google Analytics Professional Program, I cleaned, de-duplicated, and validated multi-table datasets using SQL in BigQuery and Excel/Spreadsheets. I also queried and joined relational data to support analysis.
I applied data governance principles by handling missing values and checking data type consistency across simulated business workflows. I'm seeking a Junior Data Analyst role supporting enterprise data solutions, ETL pipelines, and reporting.
