Hi. I'm Tich Mangono.

I am passionate about Data Science, Web applications, and Public Health. I develop data-driven solutions by:


  1. 1. Acquiring and organizing the right data for your needs from anywhere on the internet to integrate with your own data sources - webscraping, document mining, data collection, data engineering, and database development.


  2. 2. Understanding and interpreting the data for insights to solve critical challenges and/or identify untapped opportunities - statistical analysis, machine learning, data science, and visualization.


  3. 3. Building web and desktop applications to automate the difficult, repetitive, and time-consuming tasks within organizational processes and workflows - data-driven web applications, desktop programs/tools, reports, and dashboards.

Projects

Global Security Incidents Alerts


Developed a web app that uses anomaly, outlier, and change detection algorithms on multiple time series data to identify global humanitarian security incidents and send danger signal alerts across 80+ countries.

Stack
  • Python
  • Javascript
  • GCP

An Alternative to Airtable


Built an alternative, web-based, proprietary smart spreadsheet that handles relational data. It has multiple views for planning (Kanban view), data entry (Grid view), and data analysis (Pivot view). This saved my client $3,000+/year in subscriptions they no longer had to pay!

Stack
  • React
  • JavaScript
  • GCP
  • Firebase

Nonprofit Impact and Mentions Webscraper


Developed automated webscraping tools to gather online mentions, news, and citations related to clients' research products and experts. This provided impact information to give to donors and identified addressable online and social media engagement gaps.

Stack
  • Python
  • Pandas
  • Numpy

Predicting Global HIV Medicine Delays


Used ensemble machine learning (decision trees) and PEPFAR supply chain data to develop a classification-then-regression model to predict 1 in 2 delayed HIV medicine deliveries with a reliable estimate of the number of days delayed.

Stack
  • Python
  • Scikit-learn
  • Pandas
  • Numpy

HIV Prevention Targets Planner


Developed model to classify and predict health facility capacity then built an automated Excel/VBA-based tools for government district health managers to set targets and optimize capacity.

Stack
  • Python
  • Scikit-learn
  • Excel/VBA

Statistical Analysis of Election Data


Investigative statistical analysis and visualization of Zimbabwe's 2018 elections using millions of rows of data. My analysis was presented as evidence in Zimbabwe's Supreme Court case review of the results.

Stack
  • Python
  • Scikit-learn
  • Pandas
  • Numpy

Sexual and Gender-Based Violence Dashboard


A macro-enabled VBA Excel database and dashboard to track global commitments to funding and policy actions against SGBV. This allowed global SGBV stakeholders to visualize, manage and track funding and progress across 50+ countries and 20+ INGOs.

Stack
  • Python
  • Excel/VBA

Technologies

I use several technologies to develop actionable data science solutions and build web-based applications that save money and time.

  • Data Science

    Python (NumPy, Pandas, Scikit-learn, Keras, TensorFlow)
    R/RStudio (caret, tidy, dplyr)
    Tableau
    MS Excel/VBA

  • Web Applications

    JavaScript HTML CSS
    React Flask SQL (MySQL) Firebase MongoDB
    Git Docker
    AWS GCP
