Farida Jepkosgei

As a highly motivated and results-driven professional, I bring a diverse skill set with strong expertise in data analysis, cybersecurity, web development, and blockchain integration. I have hands-on experience with tools such as Python, R, SQL, Power BI, Tableau, and Excel for data analysis and visualization. My academic background in economics complements my technical skills, enabling me to interpret data trends effectively and offer insights that support strategic decision-making.

I’ve successfully contributed to the development of innovative software projects, including an Automated Inclusive Timetabling System and a QR Code Health Record System integrated with Blockchain (PatientRMS-PHP). These projects involved database design, backend development using PHP and MySQL (via XAMPP), and blockchain deployment using Ganache. I ensured data integrity by implementing smart contracts that notify admins of any tampering, showcasing my skills in both web development and cybersecurity.

Additionally, I completed training modules in web application security on TryHackMe and developed a strong understanding of reconnaissance techniques, Linux fundamentals, and Metasploit for penetration testing. I’m passionate about cybersecurity and always stay updated on trends in digital threats and protection strategies.

I also gained practical experience as a part-time Data Engineer, where I built and managed data pipelines using Azure Data Factory. My responsibilities included ingesting and transforming data from Azure Blob Storage and loading it into Snowflake for further analysis. This experience enhanced my understanding of cloud services, ETL processes, and data warehousing.

I enjoy working on impactful projects, collaborating in cross-functional teams, and applying creative problem-solving approaches to meet goals efficiently. I am open to opportunities in data analysis, cybersecurity, software development, and blockchain-related roles. My ability to work with both technical and non-technical stakeholders makes me a versatile asset to any team.
