My Work: How I Can Help
Data systems & governance
I design and create data infrastructure that businesses can trust and scale; from models, pipelines and governance frameworks. I work in complex environments where data has never been properly structured and the foundation needs building from scratch.
I turn messy, unstructured, inconsistent data into clear trustworthy insight. Dashboards, reports, and analytics that leadership or management can actually use to make decisions. I use tools like dbt, Snowflake, BigQuery, Tableau, Looker Studio, GitHub, Power BI, SQL.
I work with businesses and teams that need to understand their data environment before they can improve it. From audit methodology to governance design to implementation strategy. Practical, honest guidance that goes beyond generic recommendations.

Teaching and content
I create courses, content, and resources at the intersection of data, careers, and real life. My work reaches professionals, leaders, and organisations across sectors because good data thinking isn't just technical. It's strategic, human, and worth talking about honestly.

About Tess Ogamba
I'm a Data Analyst and data systems professional with 8 years of experience across research, NGOs, government, and the private sector in Kenya and the UK. My technical foundation is a BSc in Biostatistics. My work spans data infrastructure, governance, and analytics: building the systems, models, and frameworks that help organisations understand what their data is actually telling them.
I'm also a content creator, educator, and storyteller with 261K+ YouTube subscribers, 4,000+ students on Skillshare, and a growing audience of data professionals on LinkedIn who apparently relate to the chaos of the data world. I'm based in the UK and open to opportunities in London and more.
