What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and offers opportunities for professional growth in data analytics.

I am a dedicated Senior Business Intelligence Analyst with a strong background in data analytics and visualization. My experience spans over several years, where I have honed my skills in creating BI architectural designs and developing analytical models that drive business decisions. Currently, I work as a Senior BI Specialist at MAST Services, where I lead the design and implementation of data solutions on AWS cloud, ensuring that stakeholders receive actionable insights through effective reporting.

Previously, I served as a Product/BI Analyst at African Bank, where I collaborated with cross-functional teams to analyze data structures and develop solutions that enhanced revenue streams. My technical expertise includes advanced proficiency in Power BI, SQL, and data modeling, which I leverage to deliver high-quality data visualizations. I am committed to continuous learning and have completed various certifications, including Advanced Power BI and SAP HANA Associate Consultant, to stay at the forefront of industry trends.
