Hello and welcome!

Thank you for taking the time to explore my personal website.

I’m Gideon Osei Bonsu—a data-driven problem solver who turns complex questions into clear, actionable insights and innovative solutions.

I’m pursuing an M.S. in Data Science & Analytics (expected May 2027) and serving as a Strategic Planning, Assessment, and Accreditation Graduate Assistant at Grand Valley State University.

I’m actively seeking a summer 2026 internship in data analysis, data science, product management, or systems analysis where I can contribute to impactful projects and measurable outcomes. I’m also open to collaborations on Sender+, my campus-focused logistics startup.
