About Candidate

I am a Data Reporting Analyst/Data Analyst Graduate at MTN South Africa, where I work with a team of dataexperts to provide insights and solutions for various business challenges and opportunities. I use Power BI, SQL,and Excel to analyse, visualize, and communicate data from multiple sources and platforms. Likewise, I also applymy knowledge and skills in data science, machine learning, and statistics to create and implement data-drivenmodels and algorithms.
Not only that, but I am also pursuing a Master of Science degree in Data Science at the University of theWitwatersrand, where I am learning advanced techniques and tools for data analysis, management, andengineering. I have a strong background in physics, having completed a Bachelor of Science Honours degreeand a Bachelor of Science degree in Applied Mathematics and Physics at the University of KwaZulu-Natal. Ireceived the NITheP Award for Top Honours Student in Physics in 2020 for my academic excellence and researchpotential. My passion for data science stems from my curiosity and interest in solving complex problems anddiscovering new patterns and relationships in data. I enjoy working with diverse and multidisciplinary teams, andI am always eager to learn new skills and technologies. My goal is to become a proficient and innovative datascientist who can contribute to the development and growth of various industries and sectors.
