Agricultural economist and data analyst whose research pipeline produced nine publication-style charts.
CameroonWhat I'm looking for
My agricultural economics research examines digital financial services and financial inclusion among smallholder farmers, as well as the impact of agricultural extension services on farmer income.
For my MSc thesis work, I built a quantitative pipeline for data cleaning and econometric analysis using Python, Stata, and SPSS, and produced nine publication-style charts. I revised the work after reviewer feedback and strengthened the discussion with verified academic literature.
I ran a poultry and fishery enterprise as sole manager, handling day-to-day operations, bookkeeping, and accounting records. I also addressed supply, cost, and production problems while allocating capital, inputs, and labour.
I completed an internship placement with the Agricultural Infrastructure Value Chain Development Project (AIVDP), SOWEDA. In personal projects, I built and iterated a rules-based algorithmic trading bot and designed full-stack web applications, including a trading dashboard.
