I'm Melissa Ogwayo, a forward-thinking Data Scientist crafting innovative solutions.

Hello there! I'm Melissa Ogwayo, a spirited and forward-thinking individual with a deep passion for the fascinating realms of data science and analytics. I thrive on the excitement of unravelling challenges methodically, using my analytical prowess to craft innovative solutions.

Currently, I'm pursuing a Master's degree in Data Science at the University of Essex, England, and armed with a Bachelor's degree in Financial Economics from Strathmore University, Kenya, I am on a journey to blend my domain knowledge in economics and finance with cutting-edge data science techniques. By creating data-informed solutions, I aim to empower businesses with tools that truly address their challenges.

By day, I wear the hat of a User Support and Training Officer at the UK Data Archive, a role that allows me to contribute to the dynamic world of data while pursuing my academic goals. Before moving to the UK, I worked as a Research Analyst at Odipo Dev, I've woven insightful stories from diverse data sources, nurturing a keen interest in sustainable development. My goal is to leverage my analytical skills and development expertise to glean insights and develop tools that contribute to building a more sustainable world.

I embrace a perpetual learning mindset, ensuring I stay abreast of the evolving data-driven landscape in the business world. My toolkit includes qualitative and quantitative market research, adept data analysis in Microsoft Excel, and skilful data visualization using tools like Microsoft Power BI and Tableau. I'm well-versed in programming languages such as R, Stata, and Python, and I navigate the world of databases with ease using SQL.

Beyond the realm of data, you'll find me exploring new places, immersing myself in concerts, and enjoying the refreshing waters of a swimming pool during my free time. 😊
