Charles "Tosh" Gitonga
I'm a Data Scientist based in Nairobi, Kenya, and hold the IBM Data Science Professional Certificate. I work with Python and SQL to explore data, develop analyses and machine-learning models, and communicate findings clearly.
My IBM Applied Data Science Capstone project analyzes and predicts SpaceX Falcon 9 landing success using Python, SQL, data visualization, and machine learning. I also build data-focused projects such as Kenya Data, a structured, documented dataset of Kenyan administrative geography.
My background in Actuarial Science at Daystar University supports my interest in quantitative reasoning, data quality, and careful analysis. I bring software tooling and data infrastructure into my work when they help make data easier to validate, explore, and use.
