As a data analyst I have expertise in complex dataset analysis and transforming data into actionable insights. I am skilled at data manipulation, statistical analysis, and data visualization. I also have a keen sense of spotting trendsand patterns. I am an expert in data querying languages such as SQL as well as programming languages such as Python and R, and I have a proven track record of generating high-quality analytical solutions to support sound business decisions. Because I have a solid understanding of data modeling and database administration,I am excellent at improving data processes to boost efficiency and accuracy. I'm a collaborative team player with excellent communication skills who succeeds at communicating technical conceptsto non-technicalstakeholders. I appreciate working in cross-functional teams.

During my internship as a Data Analyst at the University of Ibadan, I collaborated with cross-functional teams and played a key role in producing weekly reports on student academic performance. These reports provided critical metrics such as GPA distribution and grade trends, supporting academic advisors and teachers in making informed decisions. Additionally, I conducted a comprehensive comparative analysis of departmental budgets, resulting in the identification of cost-cutting opportunities. This contributed to a 10% decrease in expenses without compromising the quality of education. Furthermore, I performed data analysis on a large dataset to uncover trends and patterns in student enrollment and retention rates.

As a Graduate Data Analyst at Hytch Lagos from March 2020 to June 2021, I made significant contributions. I successfully identified and addressed data quality issues, which led to a notable 16% increase in data accuracy and integrity. By conducting customer segmentation analysis, I facilitated targeted marketing initiatives that resulted in a 9% increase in customer acquisition and retention. Additionally, I was responsible for generating weekly reports on key performance indicators (KPIs) such as warehouse utilization, order correctness, and on-time delivery rate.

Currently pursuing a Data Science and Analytics with Advanced Research program at the University of Hertfordshire, I am actively engaged in my dissertation research. This program focuses on equipping me with advanced knowledge and skills in the field of data science and analytics. As I am still in progress, I am gaining expertise in conducting research, analyzing data, and applying advanced techniques in data science. The program is expected to be completed by September 2023, and my dissertation work is currently underway.
