ABOUT ME
Hi there, and welcome to my portfolio. I am an IBM Certified Data Analyst, passionate about data and its inexhaustible possibilities. I hold a first degree in Statistics, hence my particular potency in descriptive analytics, predictive model building (Machine Learning) and visualisation (story telling).
​
I am familiar with a host of data manipulation tools, including but not limited to MS Excel, SQL, Python, R, SPSS, C, C++ and Minitab. Despite all of this, I consider my best attribute to be my intuition, curiosity and data optimism. As a landscaper's ability is not judged by the tools in his\her toolshed, but rather inherent creativity, likewise the quality of a data analyst resides in one's ability to bring out meaningful insights out of raw information, no matter the tool used.
