Summary

As a highly motivated and results-oriented Data Scientist and Business Process Engineer, I have consistently demonstrated a passion for leveraging data to drive innovation and solve complex challenges. My career trajectory has been marked by a commitment to excellence, proactive leadership, and a dedication to continuous learning.

At RSM South Africa, I have played a key role in the Risk Advisory and Consulting Department, partnering with clients and team members to develop customized solutions that optimize data utilization and mitigate risk. My expertise in advanced database querying has enabled me to conduct thorough audits and uncover valuable insights, contributing to the growth of a new practice area and securing new client projects.

Prior to RSM, I served as a Data Engineer at NxGN, where I led a data quality audit on newly acquired software and played a crucial role in a large-scale data migration project for a major mining client. My proficiency in ETL processes, database design, and data visualization using tools like Microsoft SQL Server, Azure Data Factory, Python, and Power BI has consistently resulted in improved data accuracy, efficiency, and actionable insights.

My academic foundation includes a B.Eng (Industrial) degree from Stellenbosch University, where I honed my analytical and problem-solving skills. I have also earned globally recognized certifications from SAP, including SAP Certified Application Associate - SAP Analytics Cloud and SAP Certified Application Associate - Business Process Integration with SAP S/4HANA 1909.

Throughout my career, I have consistently exceeded expectations, delivering innovative solutions, driving process improvements, and fostering collaborative relationships with clients and colleagues. I am eager to leverage my skills and experience to contribute to a dynamic organization that values data-driven decision-making and continuous improvement.

Expectations

I am looking for an opportunity that shows significant potential for career growth along with skills growth. I am someone that always strives to learn and to add value to a team, and as such forming part of a team, in any capacity is highly important for me. Furthermore I am looking to expand my horizons and am looking for opportunities in countries outside of South Africa
