About me

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

I want to help others to make the right decisions, data-based decisions.

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).

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 that nobody else sees is the challenge to me.
