I am a Senior Data Analyst based in Nairobi, Kenya. I am an RStudio Certified Tidyverse trainer, and recently worked as a Research Manager at Geopoll, and as a Data Analyst at Busara Center for Behavioral Economics. I have previously worked as an assistant lecturer in various Kenyan universities, teaching units in Statistics and Actuarial Science. I have a Bsc in Actuarial Science and Msc in Applied Statistics from JKUAT. I have extensive experience in data analysis using R and Python. I co-organize a community of R users in Nairobi #NairobiR and in Africa #AfricaR. One of the missions of my community work is to make sure that we have an increased number of R adopters, in Africa. I am very passionate about training and using data analytics to drive development projects in Africa.
