My name is Abdul-Sherrif Saaka. A data analyst from Accra, Ghana. I currently work with a multinational non-profit that works to make global supply chains more resilient and sustainable. I am passionate about the stories data tell. I have a keen interest in analyzing data to provide insights to help the data-driven decision-making process. My current and continuously growing skillset include data cleaning, analysis and visualization with tools like SQL, MS Excel, Power Query, Power BI and Tableau. I am proactive, a fast learner, a team player and determined to succeed, one task at a time.

When I am not exploring numbers and discovering the gems hidden in them, I like to watch Football (Soccer), TV Shows and movies and play video games. Take a look at my project portfolio. It is a showcase of the skills I have learnt on my journey to becoming a data analyst. I hope you enjoy viewing it. I had a lot of fun creating it.
