I have worked in many institutions and have more than 4 years in the field of monitoring and evaluation, as well as at least 7 years of experience in information technology and monitoring and evaluation programs.

Throughout my career in the technology sector, I have amassed significant expertise by engaging in various tech- related projects and tasks. My focus has predominantly revolved around monitoring, evaluation, and data analysis, where I have actively monitored and assessed the performance of technical systems. This includes adeptly analyzing extensive datasets, utilizing advanced tools and methodologies to glean valuable insights, and identifying significant patterns and trends.

Moreover, I've leveraged my evaluation and monitoring skills to enhance technical system performance, ensuring alignment with user requirements. I have contributed substantially to the formulation of data collection and analysis strategies, thus enabling data-informed decision-making. My background in this domain uniquely combines technical acumen with a profound appreciation for the pivotal role of data in achieving organizational objectives.
