What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead rigorous statistical analysis and quality assurance—supporting research or analytics teams, building dashboards, and applying RLHF-style evaluation to improve AI-driven decisions while communicating insights clearly.

I’m a results-driven Data Analyst and Statistician with hands-on experience in applied statistical consulting, research data analysis, and academic quality assurance. I’m currently building deeper expertise through a Master of Science in Statistics at the University of Embu and a Master of Science in Data Science at the Open University of Kenya.

In my roles at the University of Embu, I support postgraduate research across panel data analysis, structural equation modeling, mediation and moderation analysis, multilevel modeling, and survival analysis. I guide students in selecting appropriate methods, testing assumptions, interpreting results, and translating complex findings into clear language for non-technical stakeholders.

I also strengthen decision-making through evidence-based analytics—analyzing evaluation data, designing monitoring tools and dashboards, and producing structured policy reports. I evaluate and critique statistical outputs from students and AI-assisted tools, aligning closely with RLHF-style evaluation and quality assurance practices, and I’m motivated to apply domain-level statistical expertise to improve next-generation AI systems.
