What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can build reliable BI dashboards and automated ETL pipelines, translate data into executive insights, and grow in analytics/AI capabilities—while partnering closely with stakeholders to improve systems, reporting accuracy, and user experience.

I’m a Data Analyst and Business Intelligence Developer who pairs Power BI, Python, and SQL to turn live operational data into clear, executive-ready decisions. I focus on building dashboards and automation that reduce manual effort while improving reporting accuracy.

In my current role at Moniepoint Inc., I architect and maintain Power BI dashboards ingesting live operational data across multiple cluster nodes for real-time KPI monitoring. I design and execute SQL ETL workflows, validate data quality through checks and routines, and write Python automation scripts that standardize pipelines and eliminate redundant processes.

Before that, as an IT Technician (NYSC) at Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA), I minimized unplanned downtime through proactive system diagnostics and maintained networks for critical workstations. I deployed software updates and security patches across 50+ endpoints, delivered Tier-1 and Tier-2 support, and managed an asset inventory database to support procurement and budgeting.

I also strengthened my technical depth with real-world support during election operations—deploying and troubleshooting biometric voter registration systems at INEC’s RATECH to ensure 100% operational uptime. Earlier, at KAD ICT Hub, I performed exploratory data analysis with Python and Excel, built summary dashboards for management, and improved data cleaning and validation to raise downstream report reliability.
