Background

About Jerome Ysrael E.

I’m a data-driven professional with a diverse background that spans beekeeping, farming, entrepreneurship, and applied AI. Currently, I work in Business Development, where I also handle contract management, project management, and lead generation—combining strategy, operations, and analytics to drive results. I’m passionate about using data to solve real-world problems and improve organizational performance. I’ve helped streamline internal workflows, managed critical contracts, generated strategic leads, and contributed to project planning and execution. My approach is deeply analytical, people-oriented, and results-focused. Previously, I volunteered as a Machine Learning Engineer at Omdena, where I contributed to developing a Sickle Cell Disease detection AI for hospitals in Benin. I’ve also supported nonprofit and healthcare organizations in data analytics roles to make AI more accessible and impactful. During the pandemic, I successfully transitioned my soap and bee-based business fully online using data-driven strategies. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Biology – Major in Genetics from the University of the Philippines, where I built a solid foundation in experimental design and quantitative analysis. I recently completed the Advanced Business Management program at The University of Winnipeg, earning Certificates in Emerging Leadership, Applied Project Management, and Management. These credentials have sharpened my business instincts, enhanced my communication skills across professional backgrounds, and improved my ability to manage data-driven initiatives. I continue to upskill through DataCamp, where I’m working through both the Machine Learning Engineer and Data Analyst (SQL) tracks. I also enjoy side projects like analyzing NBA statistics, learning music theory, and creating a biodiverse stingless bee colony on my farm. I’m always looking to collaborate on projects where data, strategy, and innovation meet to create meaningful impact. Let’s connect and explore how I can help support your organization’s goals.
