Credentials & Certifications

Professional credentials are the floor, not the ceiling — but they matter. My certifications in database management, Excel, data science, web design, and AI tools are not just badges; they represent the technical rigour behind every system I build. When I design a database schema or build a reporting engine, it is grounded in formal training, not guesswork.

MOS Excel Specialist
Microsoft Office Specialist · 2016

Excel is often the last place organisations store critical financial data before moving to a proper system. I understand it at a specialist level — which means I can extract, validate, and migrate your existing Excel data cleanly into a new application.

Microsoft
