MDTInsights — RBAC Power BI Reporting Platform
Role-based Power BI reporting giving leadership and donors real-time delivery visibility across Bangladesh, Kenya, Ghana and Sierra Leone
The Challenge
Health programs across 5+ countries operated without a unified digital layer for decision-making. Leadership, governments, and frontline teams were working from fragmented data and delayed reporting — limiting their ability to respond quickly and allocate resources where they were needed most.
The Approach
I led the development of mdtinsights.org in Q4 2024, building a platform that powers health decision-making across 5+ countries through Power BI dashboards tailored to the needs of organizations and governments. The real challenge wasn't just building a website — it was learning how to close gaps, take ownership beyond assigned tasks, and ensure the platform serves frontline decisions, not just technical goals. I worked in an AI-first way throughout: using AI to accelerate learning, improve structure, and turn ideas into production without compromising judgment.
The Result
mdtinsights.org went live delivering real-time, role-based health dashboards to ministries and leadership teams across Africa. Decision turnaround time improved from weeks to days. The project also marked a turning point in how I approach technology work — building with intent, learning in public, and using AI to amplify impact. Everything is possible with the right tools, the right support, and a willingness to learn.
Field Lessons
Go above and beyond assigned tasks
Closing gaps, unblocking progress, and taking quiet ownership when it mattered most — the work that doesn't show up in a ticket is often the work that ships the product.
Prioritize user needs over technical goals
The platform had to serve frontline health decisions, not just satisfy engineering requirements. Every design choice was tested against that question: does this help the person making the decision?
Balance speed, quality, and scalability
Timelines were tight. The solution was not to cut corners but to build smart — using AI tools and structured iteration to move fast without accumulating debt.
Build with colleagues
Feedback loops with the team made every iteration better. Shipping faster happened because of the people around me, not despite them.
Work in an AI-first way
Using AI to accelerate learning, improve structure, and turn ideas into production — without replacing judgment. AI amplified the work; the decisions were still human.
