I offer a variety of consulting services tailored to research institutions, NGOs, international organizations, and policymakers, aiming to support them in all stages of the data life cycle.
I have provided my services as a consultant to the following organizations:
Services
Research design
Tasks include:
- Defining objectives,
- Identifying the target population,
- Designing indicators,
- Developing survey questionnaires, and
- Planning the sampling design.
Experience:
I have experience working with questionnaires on victimization experiences and perceptions of insecurity across various Latin American countries, surveys assessing the socioeconomic conditions of both displaced and non-displaced households in Sudan, as well as the experiences of individuals and families before, during, and after armed conflicts in Nigeria, Niger, Chad, Cameroon, and Iraq.
Data management
Tasks include:
- Identification of data sources;
- Gathering data from various sources;
- Cleaning, structuring, and transforming messy data into research-ready datasets; and,
- Organizing and storing data.
Experience:
I have experience in data cleaning, as well as creating data dictionaries and metadata. Additionally, I have worked on integrating data from household surveys, administrative records, censuses, and remote sensing sources. When statistical information is unavailable, I have leveraged LLMs, web scraping, and text and data mining techniques to generate new datasets.
Statistical analysis
Tasks include:
- Linear regression and nonlinear regression modeling;
- Machine learning predictive modelling;
- Disaggregated analyses; and,
- Statistical tests to assess differences between populations.
Experience:
I have experience analyzing and interpreting data on victimization, gender-based violence, food security, income poverty, displacement, and armed conflict. Additionally, I have also developed and examined hard-to-measure phenomena such as indicators for severity assessments and perception of social networks.
Data visualization
Tasks include:
- Building dynamic and interactive dashboards; and,
- Custom data visualizations.
Experience:
I have experience developing dynamic R Shiny dashboards and creating interactive visualizations using ggplot2, tidyplots, and Leaflet. My work includes designing choropleth maps and tailored data visualizations for reports, presentations, and academic publications.
Deliverables
I am committed to reproducible research. Therefore, upon completing the consultancy, you will receive well-documented R scripts, along with R Markdown/Quarto files detailing each step of the work, clean datasets in the required format (Excel, CSV, SPSS, etc.), and/or an analytical report.
