A Bit About me


Who's Baraka Waswa?

I’m a certified Business Analyst at Odoo, where I specialize in helping businesses address their operational challenges and streamline their processes through digitization using Odoo's integrated ERP solutions. My role involves understanding the unique pain points of each business and crafting tailored strategies to ensure smooth, efficient, and scalable operations.

What do I do?

On a typical day, I analyze businesses across various industries, identify inefficiencies, and propose Odoo-based solutions to align their operations seamlessly. Running a business is complex, requiring multiple departments—from accounting and finance to procurement, logistics, sales, marketing, HR, and more—to work in harmony. My job is to simplify this complexity.


Beyond Business Analysis

I’m also a passionate data science enthusiast. I dedicate a significant amount of time to honing my skills in data analysis, visualization, and interpretation, as I believe data is key to understanding and solving complex problems. When I’m not immersed in work or data, you’ll find me exploring philosophical literature. I deeply admire the writings of Carl Jung, Fyodor Dostoevsky, and Ayn Rand, whose ideas continually challenge and inspire me. I also enjoy expressing my creative side through nature photography and have a particular love for art and paintings. While I dabble in painting myself (admittedly not the best 😅), I find joy in the process and the perspectives it brings.


As a blogger, I share my insights on Odoo and business digitization. Feel free to explore my work here
