About Me

I am a data enthusiast with a background in Industrial and Applied Chemistry and a strong passion for data science. My journey has been fueled by curiosity—starting in the lab, analyzing chemical data, and now exploring insights from large datasets.

Most of my time is spent working with data—cleaning, analyzing, and building predictive models. My skills include data analytics, visualization, machine learning, and predictive modeling. I have a keen eye for detail and enjoy solving complex problems, whether through structured data preprocessing or deriving actionable insights.

Beyond work, I am constantly learning. I have been self-teaching data science through platforms like YouTube, Google Data Analytics, and online courses including ALX and MOOCs. My learning process involves building projects, experimenting with real-world datasets, and tackling challenges on platforms like Kaggle.

When I'm not coding, I enjoy sharing knowledge. I document my learning journey, explore open-source projects, and aim to contribute to the data science community through tutorials and mentorship. Check out my projects, experience, and certifications throughout this site. Feel free to explore my GitHub repositories and connect with me on LinkedIn!
