Data-focused purchasing and operations professional turning analytics into smarter inventory decisions.
What I'm looking for
I’m a data-driven, detail-oriented professional with a strong foundation in economics and retail operations. I transform complex datasets into actionable business insights using Excel, SQL, Power BI, and Python for data cleaning, visualization, and predictive modeling.
At Nigerian Army Post Exchange (NAPEX), I analyze sales, inventory, and financial records to optimize purchasing decisions and maintain optimal stock levels. I improve inventory turnover by aligning procurement with demand patterns, evaluate supplier performance using pricing data, and keep structured datasets that strengthen data accuracy and reporting consistency across multiple locations.
Previously as a Branch Operations Supervisor, I reduced discrepancies by over 20% through data validation and reconciliation, and improved financial reporting accuracy by 15%. I also build interactive analytics solutions—such as a cardiovascular risk analysis dashboard using Logistic Regression with Plotly and Dash—to support data-driven decision-making and continuous process improvement.
