Boniphace Mkindi

Data & Analytics Engineer | Power BI, Microsoft Fabric, Finance Reporting & ERP Analytics | Business Applications | Applied AI

Turning finance, ERP and operational data into trusted analytics and practical business solutions.

Summary

I work across data, finance reporting and business applications. My background is engineering and telecoms; my current focus is Microsoft analytics that finance and operations teams can rely on.

Earlier telecom roles taught me how large operational systems behave — especially where reliability, security and data quality matter. I now apply that in UK finance analytics, Power BI, Fabric and ERP reporting work.
