About

About me

A data scientist based in Nairobi, with an extensive experience of over 5 years in Data Modeling, Data Analysis, and Programming.

Award-winning Data Science Professional

Hi, my name is Kamanda and I work remotely as a freelance data scientist. I hold a Bachelor’s in Science (Statistics and Programming, Kenyatta University), a Diploma in Certified Ethical Hacking and Cyber Security, and a second Diploma in Data Science.

For as long as I remember, I have always enjoyed solving puzzles, numbers, and patterns. So that’s my view of big data sets: as one big puzzle I want to solve. Finding hidden patterns nobody else sees is the challenge to me.

I have been working as a data scientist for more than 5 years with experience in insurance, risk, education, publishing, finance and retail. I have worked for 4 companies and over 900 clients which gives me the ability to translate complex questions into understandable insights.

My Skills

I am passionate about using data-driven approaches to solve complex problems. I believe in the fact that learning never stops and I am interested in learning new technologies, programming languages, and techniques to improve my skills.
