Get to Know Me

From 12,362 to 450. I Made the Cut. Here's Why.

I recently completed the HNG Internship 13 Data Analytics track, an intensive program where over 12,000 people started, and only 450 made it to the end. I was one of them, ranking 2nd out of 46 finalists in the palm oil investment profitability analysis.

But credentials aside, what I actually do is find the stories hiding in your data. I bridge the gap between raw numbers and strategic action, building dashboards and reports that don't just look good, but drive real business decisions.
