What I'm looking for

I’m looking to apply research and data analysis to payments systems, digital financial inclusion, and emerging-market challenges, especially in East Africa’s mobile money and digital payments landscape.

At Royal Media Services, I design field-deployed surveys and analyze GeoPoll and Ipsos audience data across TV and radio properties. I turn viewership and listenership trends into client-ready reports and presentations, including a Q1 vs Q2 Growth Report for senior stakeholders.

At Portal Pharmacy, I built the company’s first reliable, queryable retail dataset by centralizing multi-branch transaction data. I developed a social-media-to-sales attribution model and Power BI dashboards that became senior management’s primary performance-tracking tool.

I also automated stock replenishment reporting with Power Query, replacing a staff-intensive process with a one-click report. At Misty Acres, I implemented an Airtable data management system and connected it to Looker Studio to make farm performance trends visible to non-technical teams.

My postgraduate training in Financial Technology complements my work in SQL, Python, Power BI, survey design, and quantitative analysis. I’m especially interested in payments systems and digital financial inclusion across East Africa’s mobile money and digital payments landscape.
