I am a dual-specialist offering Data & Business Intelligence (BI) Analysis and WordPress Web Development. My goal is to help businesses make sense of their data while building the digital platforms they need to capture and display it. For Data/BI: I transform raw data into actionable insights using tools like Power BI, Tableau, and Excel. I specialize in building automated dashboards, cleaning complex datasets, and identifying trends that drive revenue and operational efficiency. For WordPress: I develop custom, responsive, and SEO-optimized websites. Whether it’s a high-converting landing page, an e-commerce store, or a portfolio site, I focus on speed, security, and user experience. I bridge the gap between "having a website" and "understanding your business performance."

What is needed to get started
To ensure a smooth start and a successful outcome, I require the following: For Data Projects: A clear "Problem Statement" (what questions are we trying to answer?), access to the data sources (SQL databases, CSVs, or API credentials), and a definition of the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that matter most to your business. For WordPress Projects: A project brief outlining the site's purpose, your branding assets (logo, fonts, colors), and current hosting/domain credentials (if already purchased). Timeline & Budget: An understanding of your preferred deadline and the total budget to ensure the scope of work is realistic and prioritized.
How the work is delivered
I follow a structured 5-step workflow to ensure transparency and quality: Discovery & Strategy: We start with a consultation to define goals. For data, this is a "Requirement Gathering" session; for web, it’s a "Sitemap & Wireframe" discussion. Preparation & Setup: I set up the environment—either by cleaning and modeling your data or by configuring the WordPress staging environment and theme. Development/Analysis: Data: I build the analysis models and draft the initial visualizations. Web: I develop the pages, integrate necessary plugins, and optimize for mobile. Review & Refinement: I present the first draft (the dashboard or the site) for your feedback. I offer [Insert number, e.g., 2] rounds of revisions to ensure everything aligns perfectly with your vision. Deployment & Handover: Once approved, I go live. I provide a final handover which includes a walkthrough of the dashboard or training on how to manage your new WordPress site.
