Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolCharles Gatama is a data engineer with 10 years’ experience building data and AI systems that turn complex operational datasets into actionable insights for UN agencies, development banks, NGOs and private sector partners. He designs and deploys scalable ETL, data lake/warehouse architectures and production ML pipelines—work that has supported decision-making at UNHCR, AfDB, Palladium and others, including an end-to-end ML program predicting asylum seekers’ length of stay. Equally comfortable in statistics and engineering, he blends reproducible modeling, data quality automation and MLOps with practical M&E, survey and GIS workflows in fragile and resource-constrained settings. His projects often bridge field operations and analytics—e.g., multi-country CommCare/ODK systems, crowdsourced GIS platforms and real-time dashboards that improved program delivery and data reliability. Motivated by impact, he prioritizes secure, ethical data practices and evidence-based solutions that strengthen humanitarian and development outcomes.
