Projects

2024

This data analysis project highlights cancer cases diagnosed across 13 states in Nigeria from 2009 to 2016. For this project, I used Google Sheets, SQL & Tableau to clean, analyse and visualize the dataset. Here’s a link to an article I wrote which highlights my entire process from the initial data research and sourcing to the final data visualization.

Forbes World’s Highest Paid Athletes in 2023

This Tableau visualization shows the top 50 world’s highest-paid athletes of 2023. Here, I made use of treemaps to show the breakdown of each athlete’s earnings. I also included some interesting facts I observed in this dataset. Did you know that Serena Williams is the only woman on the list, ranking 49th?

2023

I worked on the data extraction and analysis for our first infographic, which highlights the top industries that users share their identity data with, leveraging Mono’s APIs. I collaborated with the design and the marketing team to achieve this.

2023

This dataset collects information from 100k medical appointments in Brazil and is focused on the question of whether or not patients show up for their appointments.

I made use of Jupyter Notebook, Python, Pandas, Numpy, Matplotlib and Seaborn for this project.

A Tableau Visualization

Over the years, the USD to Naira exchange rate has increased significantly. From February 2023 to the 18th of December 2023 alone, there has been an increase of 63.20%, resulting in the current rate of 1,221.33 naira per dollar. This means that any amount saved or invested in February has appreciated by 63.20%, showing the high devaluation of the Nigerian Naira, and its impact on the value of savings and investments over the years.

It's interesting to note that the first recorded spike in the exchange rate dates back to 2016 with an increase of 43.27% compared to the previous year.
