AboutPaul Kandiri
Hi, I'm Paul K. — a reliable and detail-oriented remote professional from Kenya with experience in data entry, data analysis, administrative support, and technical assistance. I've worked on freelance platforms such as Upwork, handling tasks like chat support, remote technical support, academic writing, and data management for various clients.
I'm highly proficient in Microsoft Excel, Word, and Google Workspace tools, and I'm comfortable working with spreadsheets, organizing data, and maintaining accurate records. Whether it's cleaning up a messy dataset, building a tracker, or preparing reports that actually make sense to the people reading them — that's the kind of work I love.
On the technical side, I have hands-on experience in website development using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and I use Visual Studio Code to build and manage web projects. I'm also familiar with databases and have foundational knowledge in MySQL, plus experience working with ERP systems such as ERPNext. My technical background lets me adapt quickly to new systems and tools depending on what the client needs.
I'm pursuing a degree in Information Technology at Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT), where I've developed strong problem-solving, analytical, and organizational skills. I'm particularly interested in AI, data analytics, and data science — areas I keep building on outside of coursework.
I'd describe myself as a fast learner, hardworking, flexible, and goal-oriented. I can multitask effectively, work with minimal supervision, and I have a good command of English and strong communication skills. Most importantly, I'm committed to delivering high-quality work within deadlines.
If you're looking for a versatile VA who can handle both the operational and technical sides of your business, I'd love to hear from you.
