Portrait of Kifah Owda

I’m the kind of person who treats every project, even a school assignment, like it should deliver real results. I think in process: what’s the goal, and what’s the most efficient way to get there. I can manage myself and work on my own, but I also enjoy working as part of a team.

I started this portfolio to share what I build. To me, every data project is like building a product. Who is the end user? Who will read the report? Where does the data come from, and what questions should I ask it? Civic apps, event forecasting, startup funding, health tracking: each one started with a real question and ended with something people can use.

When I’m not on a hiking trail or caring for my garden, I’m usually thinking about the next thing to build. Some of them end up here.

If you’ve got a project that needs someone to take the lead, ask the right questions, and build it with the users in mind, without letting the scope run away, I’d love to hear about it.
