What I'm looking for

I'm looking to transition into project and permit management roles where I can coordinate complex workflows, improve compliance, resolve process bottlenecks, and apply my finance and data analytics background.

I've improved financial operations at Mukuti Wazumba and Wonayi Multiple Insurance Agent, increasing profitability by 25%, reducing liabilities by 80%, and modernizing reporting systems to improve accuracy and efficiency. My work includes financial reporting, budget development, tax compliance, reconciliations, stakeholder coordination, and team mentorship.

I'm transitioning into project and permit management while building data science capability at BitwareByte Technologies, where I develop machine learning, forecasting, recommendation, and anomaly-detection models. I bring six years of experience working in compliance-driven environments, supported by Python, SQL, Power BI, Tableau, BigQuery, and financial analytics.
