Summary

I am a Data Reporting Analyst Graduate at MTN South Africa, where I work with a team of data experts to provide insights and solutions for various business challenges and opportunities. I use Power BI, SQL, and Excel to analyze, visualize, and communicate data from multiple sources and platforms. I also apply my knowledge and skills in data science, machine learning, and statistics to create and implement data-driven models and algorithms.


I am currently pursuing a Master of Science degree in Data Science at the University of the Witwatersrand, where I am learning advanced techniques and tools for data analysis, management, and engineering. I have a strong background in physics, having completed a Bachelor of Science Honours degree and a Bachelor of Science degree in Applied Mathematics and Physics at the University of KwaZulu-Natal. I received the NITheP Award for Top Honours Student in Physics in 2020 for my academic excellence and research potential. My passion for data science stems from my curiosity and interest in solving complex problems and discovering new patterns and relationships in data. I enjoy working with diverse and multidisciplinary teams, and I am always eager to learn new skills and technologies. My goal is to become a proficient and innovative data scientist who can contribute to the development and growth of various industries and sectors.
