About Candidate
My name is Peter Waithaka Ndirangu.
I studied my Undergraduate in Marketing, and shortly after, I started working for a small Sacco as a loans officer. This is where I was first introduced to data: I needed to capture and record data on every member planning to take a loan, then analyze it to determine the suitability of each individual. I then moved to an NGO that sponsored young adults to learn financial sales skills. In this role, I was able to work exclusively with Google Sheets as I was tasked with keeping and updating all the records of all participants in the program. We were able to train and connect 3000 young adults to entry-level jobs in the financial industry. Currently, I am an admin assistant at a National petroleum corporation in Qatar. In this role, I am tasked with reconciliation of sales, and I interact with Excel daily. I am currently undertaking a data analytics course at ALX in addition to learning SQL on Udemy.
My Financial expertise and data background make me an excellent fit. I am looking for a data role where I can impact company policy with my up-to-date tech skills.
