I hold a Master's degree in Technology (MIT) in Data Science from the University of Pretoria. My academic and professional interests are rooted in Natural Language Processing (NLP), Artificial Intelligence, and big data technologies. I have strong expertise in data analysis and modeling, with hands-on proficiency in SQL, Python, and Excel, which I use to extract, transform, and interpret data effectively. Beyond my professional and academic pursuits, I am an avid reader and actively participate in community projects. I value continuous learning and meaningful engagement, both of which shape my approach to problem-solving and my commitment to using data and technology for positive impact.
