I believe that I have an extensive amount of experience (8 years) in data analytics and data science, I have also a proven track record of going the extra mile to deliver exceptional results. I've held key roles in global companies, often working remotely to collaborate with teams and stakeholders worldwide.
In my current position as a Global Data Scientist at CHEP Global, I've demonstrated my ability to manage the IMETA region, executing and developing tasks for the Advanced Analytics team. My promotion to this role in December 2023 speaks to my strong work ethic and my capacity to build firm stakeholder relationships.
Previously, as a Regional Data Scientist at CHEP IMETA, I led projects in Business Intelligence, automating reports and transitioning from Excel-driven reporting to Power BI. I've actively contributed to automating processes, using tools such as Salesforce, SAP BW, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Visual Studios, and Microsoft SQL, to provide valuable predictive analysis insights.
During my tenure as a Data Analyst/BI Developer at Sanlam - SA Retail Mass, I've been instrumental in projects involving machine learning. I successfully led the Propensity to Lapse Model project, partnering with Deloitte Consultants to forecast clients' likelihood of lapsing in payments. The Orphan Clients Model was another significant project that I managed from the ground up, focusing on maximizing revenue from unassigned clients.
Before that, I honed my skills as a Data Analyst/Scientist at eCOGRA - Compliance Testing Services, where I conducted statistical testing and financial analysis. My contributions included forecasting gameplay outcomes, performing financial reconciliations, and providing technical support to clients.
I began my career as a Junior Data Scientist at Bittronics, where I managed SQL servers, developed scripts for automating numerical values, and configured security equipment. I also provided technical support and built customer relationships.
Complementing my wealth of experience, I have a strong educational background in econometrics, including a Bachelor's degree in Commerce from the University of Cape Town. Currently, I'm pursuing further education with a B.Com (Honours) in Financial Management, specializing in Econometrics, at the University of South Africa.
My diverse skillset encompasses various programming languages and tools, cloud platforms, and project management skills. I have demonstrated proficiency in SQL, Python, R, Power BI, Tableau, and more. My commitment to hard work, my ability to work effectively in remote settings, and my dedication to delivering valuable insights underscore my contributions in the field of data analysis and data science.
