Summary
Brian Mutugi is a Data Manager and full-stack data scientist based in Nairobi with 8 years of hands-on experience designing data ecosystems, building ETL pipelines, and developing digital systems for international organizations. Currently at UNEP Finance Initiative, he blends business analysis, data modelling and systems development to turn paper processes into secure, automated digital workflows. His background at UNEP includes architecting data warehouses, exposing SQL via secure REST APIs, and producing actionable Power BI reporting—skills reinforced by Python scripting, Azure cloud operations, and version control practices. Brian’s career began in software engineering and freelancing, and he has practical experience across Moodle, PHP, JavaScript, and machine learning in Azure ML, which gives him rare end-to-end fluency from ML prototypes to production dashboards. He holds an MSc in Data Science and Analytics from Strathmore and a technical undergraduate background in networks, enabling him to bridge data, infrastructure and user-centred systems. Colleagues know him as a methodical problem-solver who approaches complex data challenges “bit by bit,” crafting repeatable automation and governance rather than quick fixes.
