Prudence Machebele

I am a dedicated Data Analyst and Geospatial Specialist with over 5 years of experience working at the intersection of socio-economic research and spatial data analysis. My career has been focused on leveraging advanced analytical tools—such as Python, SQL, ArcGIS, and Power BI—to interpret complex datasets that support urban planning, infrastructure development, and policy formulation.

Currently, I work as a Geospatial Data Analyst at Joburg City Power, where I manage and analyze spatial datasets to optimize servitude rights management, land assessments, and infrastructure projects. I have successfully developed detailed spatial models and visualizations that have informed strategic decision-making, resulting in improved operational efficiency.

I hold a Master’s degree in Geographic Information Systems and am currently pursuing a PhD, which deepens my expertise in spatial statistics and remote sensing. This academic foundation complements my practical experience, allowing me to design data-driven solutions that address real-world urban and regional challenges.

Beyond technical skills, I am passionate about continuous learning and applying data science innovations to promote sustainable urban development and social equity. I am especially interested in roles that combine data analytics with geospatial intelligence to create impactful insights for government, utilities, and private sector projects.

My achievements include streamlining data workflows through automation, leading cross-functional data projects, and mentoring junior analysts in data visualization best practices. I am keen to contribute my analytical mindset, technical proficiency, and problem-solving skills to organizations seeking to harness data for strategic advantage.
