They call me MacGyver with code. Give me a broken process and it will be fixed.
Professional Summary
Power BI and Power Platform Developer with nearly two years of hands-on experience delivering data-driven solutions in a medical device distribution environment.
Skilled in building insight-rich Power BI dashboards using DAX and forecasting models, developing custom Power Apps to automate workflows, and performing predictive stock analysis to support procurement and inventory decisions.
Currently at Virtumed (Pty) Ltd, I design and deliver solutions that reduce inventory risk, improve data accuracy, and translate complex data into clear, actionable business insights. Alongside my BI work, I am actively expanding into modern full-stack development using Next.js, React, TypeScript, and Node.js, with a strong focus on writing code that is maintainable and ready for production.
