I turn operational data into automated monitoring, actionable dashboards, and faster incident resolution.
South AfricaWhat I'm looking for
At Kapsch TrafficCom, I analysed roadside tolling data across 43 gantries and roughly 250 devices, using Oracle SQL, Perl, Power BI, and Excel to detect faults, investigate incidents, and improve operational visibility.
I build structured datasets, dashboards, and automated monitoring solutions that turn logs and event data into reliable decisions. More recently, I’ve applied Python, Pandas, Matplotlib, and Excel to independent quantitative market research, evaluating price, volatility, volume, and scenario outcomes.
