About Erick

I am a Monitoring, Evaluation, Research, and Learning (MERL) professional with over four years of experience turning complex data into actionable insights that drive organizational growth and social impact. With a strong foundation in Statistics and Computer Programming (BSc, Egerton University), I specialize in designing and implementing data systems that inform strategy, improve performance, and strengthen accountability.

My career spans diverse roles—from managing agricultural datasets at AGGRIS, to developing fiscal tools for the Nakuru County Government, to training professionals in advanced statistical software. These experiences sharpened my ability to apply data science across sectors and ensure evidence directly informs decision-making.

Currently, I serve as a MERL Officer at Badili Africa, where I lead data collection, analysis, and reporting processes that help teams learn, adapt, and scale their impact. As the CEO of Insight Sphere Limited, I drive a vision of equipping organizations and individuals with reliable, data-driven solutions that promote clarity, efficiency, and measurable outcomes.

I am proficient in tools such as R, SPSS, STATA, Excel, and KoboCollect, with a keen interest in data visualization and research design. Beyond technical expertise, I value mentoring young analysts and fostering data cultures that prioritize integrity, learning, and continuous improvement.

At the core, I believe data is not just about numbers—it is about unlocking opportunities, shaping better policies, and transforming lives.
