About
Starting my career many years ago in Medical Laboratory Sciences (UK), which grounded me with an analytical approach.
Moved into business management consulting and worked on a number of projects within the mining and resources sector, paper manufacturing, engineering and telecoms industries on procurement, supply chain and management reporting initiatives, which gave me a logical approach to business solutions.
As a freelance Senior Data Analyst, I have been working for myself (Logical Approach) for the past 27 years, using my consulting experience to identify business process inefficiency and improvement opportunities.
I use a variety of analytical tools from Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Access (VBA) Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Visual Studio Code, Python and Jupyter Notebooks for data analysis.
