Data has value only when it helps people make better decisions.

I am Alliyu Ajagun, a Data Analyst with a background in Applied Mathematics and Statistics, combining analytical thinking with practical business problem-solving. I work across Excel, SQL, Python, and Power BI to clean, model, and visualize data that supports confident decision-making.

My experience spans financial and sales analytics, customer and consumer research, healthcare operations, cybersecurity, and business performance reporting. Whether building interactive dashboards, streamlining reporting processes, or developing practical data tools like a Nigerian Tax Calculator, my goal is the same: deliver solutions that are accurate, intuitive, and useful to the people making decisions.

I approach every project with a focus on clarity, reliability, and measurable impact, ensuring that complex data becomes insight stakeholders can understand and act on.

  • Analyse

    Clean and interrogate messy, disconnected datasets to find the real story inside them.

  • Visualise

    Build dashboards and reports that make complex findings understandable at a glance.

  • Communicate

    Translate technical findings into business language stakeholders can act on.

  • Automate

Business problems, quantified impact.

CRM Sales Performance Analysis

Brainards Group · Sales & CRM Analytics

Problem

8,800 sales opportunities scattered across 4 disconnected exports, with no visibility into what actually drives revenue by sector or region.

Approach

Modeled a star schema in Power BI with custom DAX measures and built a two-page executive dashboard.

Impact

Found that revenue gaps come from opportunity volume, not win rate - reframing the fix from sales coaching to pipeline generation.

Airbnb Listings Analysis - New York City

Public Dataset · Real Estate & Hospitality Analytics

Problem

Airbnb investors had no data-backed answer for where to invest, which hosts or room types perform best, or which hosts to prioritize for onboarding.

Approach

Cleaned and modeled listings data in SQL Server, then visualized findings in Power BI.

Impact

Identified the top 4 highest-ROI neighborhoods and a specific, underused onboarding segment - part-time hosts averaging 112 available days a year.

Phone Purchase Preference Analysis

Custom 162-Respondent Survey · Nigerian Consumer Market

Problem

Mobile brands in Nigeria had no reliable read on what actually drives a purchase decision, or how brand loyalty and switching intent break down.

Approach

Designed and ran a 162-respondent survey, analyzed it in SQL across 7 business questions, and modeled a star schema in Power BI.

Impact

Found durability outranks price as the top purchase driver, and that 53.1% of consumers intend to switch brands - directly challenging assumptions brands make about this market.

Hospital Management Financial & Operational Analysis

Synthetic Hospital Dataset · Healthcare Financial Operations

Problem

Hospital leadership had 5 disconnected data sources and no unified view of what drove revenue or where cash flow was breaking down.

Approach

Merged all 5 datasets in Python (pandas), ran a full exploratory analysis, and quantified revenue by treatment, payment status, and department.

Impact

Found 68.5% of billed revenue was stuck in Failed or Pending status - a bigger problem than any single treatment or department underperforming.

Cybersecurity Intelligence - Global Threats (2015–2024)

Public Dataset · Global Cybersecurity Threat Trends

Problem

IT security leaders had no clear, data-driven view of whether cyber-defense capabilities were keeping pace with rising threats.

Approach

Modeled the dataset as a star schema in Power BI and analyzed incident volume, financial loss, attack type, and response time by country.

Impact

Found threat volume and financial cost are rising faster than response times are improving - average response time sits at 36.5 hours.

Nigeria PAYE Tax Calculator

Personal Tool Build · Tax Compliance & Finance

Problem

Nigeria's PAYE tax is progressive across 6 bands with multiple reliefs, and most people estimate their tax with a flat-rate guess or opaque payroll software.

Approach

Built a fully formula-driven Excel model - zero macros - with fully visible, auditable, band-by-band calculation logic.

Impact

Delivers a transparent, self-serve tax breakdown showing exactly how each income band and relief affects take-home pay.
