      System Analyst

      I was part of the initial team that worked at this startup. Focused on providing Corporate Compliance services as well as manpower services to corporations. My internship was spread across the years as I returned to the startup every holiday and worked with the team to improve Document Control Systems, Permit Processing Systems and Human Resource for companies in Nigeria. - I was privileged to design the company's logo (later modified by a graphic designer) and templates for most of their document template designs. - I was in charge of all Technical and digital systems of the company in its early years.- Assisted in designing financial spreadsheets for the company.All in all, a truly life-changing experience.

    • GMT Nigeria Limited

      Aug 2017 - Dec 2017
      Operations Development Intern

      Worked on and developed processes to track refunds from terminal demurrages paid in advance. I automated the process of calculating and tracking of these funds via complex spreadsheets with little supervision from my Operations Development Manager.I worked with the Operations Development team to analyze Operations data to enable the development of operational strategies. I created a dynamic system for the monitoring of driver activities, job status, and maintenance status. This system helps track, analyze and report the truck operations, job status and maintenance status to the management team which allows them to make informed decisions without wasting time chasing information.I undertook a project to physically study and map the Lagos Haulage Industry. This project enabled us to discover more than 30 viable assets in Lagos that the company could invest in. We visited about 100 locations across Lagos, Epe, Mowe, Ibafo. Understudying key upcoming locations such as Lekki Free Trade Zone, with several projects such as the Dangote Refinery and Dangote Fertilizer Plant. Show less

      Nov 2018 - Jun 2020
      Business Analyst

      I worked with the Operations, Account, Admin, Technical Department and Tracking Unit, often playing the role of a Data Scientist and Analyst to create systems that track and monitor the KPIs of the various departments and unit, and then, presenting this information in a visually pleasing manner for top management. One key highlight so far is the creation of a logistics operations system that keeps track of truck activities in a near real-time manner through a well-coordinated communication system and geo-location tracking system.Also, for the Technical Unit, I developed a system to track the maintenance and milage of trucks and the correlation between job performance and productivity.
