What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply data management, MEAL, GIS, research, and machine learning to strengthen strategic decision-making, humanitarian response, and development programs.

At UNICEF Mozambique, I developed Python data integration that reduced aggregation from weeks to seconds and achieved 95% efficiency. I also applied machine learning to predict El Niño-affected districts with 80% accuracy and cholera outbreaks with 86% accuracy, supporting supply pre-positioning in Sofala.

I've supported UN agencies, NGOs, and USAID-funded work across data management, MEAL, GIS, research, planning, and reporting. I founded PMEAL Explorer 360, an integrated platform for project and data management, monitoring and evaluation, GIS, and reporting, and I bring an Agricultural Engineering background alongside an MBA in Data Science & Analytics.
