Henry Wandera
Hello, I'm Henry Wandera — Data Scientist · AI Engineer · Safety & MHE Training Professional
I turn tangled, messy data into decisions that move organisations forward — and I turn raw talent into certified, career-ready operators on the machines that build economies.
A rare blend of the analytical and the practical — equally at home in a database and on a workshop floor.
With over seven years spanning data science, software engineering and skills development, I sit at an unusual intersection. By day I'm the gatekeeper of an organisation's data — mining, modelling and visualising complex information so leaders can decide with confidence. Beyond the screen, I design and deliver accredited training that puts safety-first, career-ready operators onto heavy machinery, cranes, forklifts and mining sites.
I hold an MSc in IT (Big Data Science) from the University of Pretoria and have delivered work for health analytics programmes, human-heredity research networks and enterprise clients alike. My philosophy is simple: numbers should tell the truth, and skills should open doors.
From boardroom analytics to the operator's cab — a genuinely full-stack skill set that few can offer under one name.
Turning data into insight and solutions. I design algorithms, build data pipelines and craft the dashboards and models that make complex decisions clear.
Promoting safety, building culture, protecting lives. Accredited training across heavy machinery, cranes, forklifts, mining and occupational health & safety.
Exploring places, embracing cultures, living fully. Curiosity is the engine behind everything I build — it's what keeps my work human, global and forward-looking.
I don't spread thin — I go deep in the disciplines that let organisations both understand their data and develop their people. Here's where my hours have gone.

The places I've explored and the projects I've had a hand in — the road, the sites, the moments that keep the work human.
Whether you need a data strategy, an AI solution, or accredited safety and machinery training for your workforce — I'd love to hear what you're working on.
