Stephen Kamau
@stephenkamau4
Senior data consultant building financial dashboards and decision-support for businesses.
What I'm looking for
I help organizations turn financial and operational data into clear, decision-ready analytics. As a founder and senior data consultant, I deliver financial performance dashboards, business intelligence, and decision-support systems for SMEs, corporates, and development organizations.
I build forecasting and scenario modeling frameworks that support budgeting, growth planning, and capital allocation decisions. I also develop Python and SQL data pipelines and ETL/BI reporting workflows that keep dashboards and standardized reports refreshed with real-time operational and financial inputs.
In prior roles, I led analytics infrastructure for a travel company backed by Y Combinator, combining transaction data, marketing spend, and revenue metrics for leadership and finance. I created revenue tracking and executive dashboards, implemented Power BI/Power Apps digitization for reporting workflows, connected Google Analytics and Mixpanel with internal databases, and used cohort, lifetime value, and demand forecasting to guide product and pricing decisions.
Earlier, I combined business development with data analysis in logistics—running market research, pricing/service analysis, and translating operational and ERP data (including SAP or similar systems) into KPI dashboards and client-facing reports. I’m especially strong in KPI design, data quality review, stakeholder/client engagement, and strategy development through analytics, with certifications in data science, advanced Python, and Responsible AI.
