Profile Summary

I help organizations, researchers, and businesses turn complex data, research problems, and digital ideas into clear, usable solutions. My strength is working at the intersection of data science, research, and practical systems, especially in low-resource and emerging market contexts. I don’t just deliver outputs; I help you understand, decide, and move forward with confidence.
