Autobiography

A. Buabeng is an academic with a specialisation in Mathematics (Statistics and Data Science). With several years of experience in analysing and interpreting complex data, I am a committed data scientist with a passion for data and information, extremely organised and keen eye for detail. I have worked with various research experts; am very knowledgeable in data science tools and methodologies; adept in conducting field surveys; have a broad understanding of statistical concepts and methods, and above all knowledgeable in data mining and very skilful in using computer applications. Hence, I have consistently proven my ability to meet deadlines, achieve project objectives, solve mission-critical problems, and prioritise crucial tasks while maintaining the high standards expected of my role.
