What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build predictive models, automated data products, and decision-support systems that turn complex datasets into measurable business, research, or policy outcomes.

I've built predictive models, automated data pipelines, and decision-support tools for Somo Properties and the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI).

At Somo Properties, I lead predictive analytics and data engineering for financial portfolios, building default-risk models, PostgreSQL data engines, and Power BI KPI dashboards that support leadership and board decisions.

At ILRI, I analyzed longitudinal agricultural data across seven East African countries and developed mobile-first profitability simulators and multi-country data platforms. My Python and SQL quality workflows reduced data discrepancies by 35% while maintaining more than 99% dataset completeness.
