## About

```text
At Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI) – CRDR, I design and optimise electronic data-collection forms for the ITARA Project and configure REDCap study forms on tablets. I validate participant records, resolve routine data queries, and prepare study-progress reports.

Earlier at KEMRI – CVDC and KEMRI-WELLCOME TRUST RESEARCH PROGRAMME, I supported field data collection and entered clinical and visit data using OpenClinica, REDCap, and in-house systems. I also reviewed Case Report Forms and source documents, checked data quality, and trained study staff on data-collection procedures.
