About
I came to Data Science in a round about manner. I started my journey in Architecture, but rather than designing building I found myself researching and analysing construction data. I then worked as a Business Analyst for a year. Thats where I discovered the power of Data. Every division, from upper management to finance, needed someone to analyse data so they could make informed business decisions. Thats when I ventured to do my Masters in Data Analytics.

Business Data Analyst & Data Science enthusiast.

Pass through this breif patch of time in harmony with nature and come to your final resting place gracefully, just as a rippened olive might drop, praising the earth that norished it and greatful to the tree that gave it growth. Marcus Aurelius
