Tech by Grace | Grace Ihuoma Nwakama

About Me

I build things that work.

I am Grace Ihuoma Nwakama, a Database Specialist, Full-Stack Developer, and Data Analyst based in Lagos, Nigeria. My journey into tech began in 2024 when I decided to pursue a path that could provide not just financial freedom, but also personal fulfillment and continuous growth.

I started with Database Management with SQL Server and it instantly felt like home. Since then I have expanded into Excel, Power BI, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, R, and GitHub, combining technical skill with creativity to build meaningful solutions.

I studied Economics at Universite Polytechnique du Benin, which gave me a strong analytical foundation. Now I am deepening my Python and web application skills through Aptech, and actively learning about AI and Machine Learning through both Anthropic and Aptech.

What I love most about tech is that it challenges you to learn more, do more, and earn more. Every project brings me closer to the life I envision: one of purpose, creativity, and impact.

Hospital Management Database

SQL Server, T-SQL, Healthcare Schema

View Code ↗

A full hospital operations database with Patients, Doctors, and Appointments tables. Seven stored procedures handle every key workflow: adding patients, booking and cancelling appointments, retrieving patient history, checking doctor schedules, and pulling upcoming appointments. Includes sample data and test scripts so anyone can clone and run it immediately.

Two linked projects: an inventory system with automated low-stock alerts, and an e-commerce database with products, customers, and orders. Together they show how I think about data across a whole business.

I used the World Values Survey, a large-scale global dataset, to explore how religion and age relate to reported happiness across different countries. I cleaned and wrangled the CSV data, ran statistical analysis in R, and wrote a full report. Deployed live on Vercel.
