Zakaria Abdiwahid

I’m a driven Information Technology graduate and aspiring Data Analyst, with 1+ year of hands-on experience supporting data analysis, IT operations, and reporting across academic, internship, and freelance environments. I focus on turning messy datasets into clear, decision-ready insights.

I’ve delivered measurable impact through freelance work: analyzing datasets exceeding 15,000 records, designing and deploying 6 interactive dashboards in Power BI and Excel, and completing 10+ projects for academic and small-business use cases. I clean, transform, and visualize raw data with Python and SQL, apply basic predictive modeling for forecasting, and translate complex outputs into practical reports aligned to client objectives.

Before that, I strengthened reliability and accessibility through an internship with the JKUAT ICT Department, resolving 120+ logged technical issues, supporting network configuration and monitoring, and assisting with database updates and Excel-based reporting. I’m looking to bring this same analytical rigor and technical mindset into a remote or hybrid Data Analyst role where data-driven insights improve business and operational outcomes.
