Nighat I.

2,500+ interview, focus group, and survey responses coded and turned into client-ready findings across 5 countries, 4 sectors, and both NVivo and MAXQDA. I'm one of a small number of freelancers who is both an NVivo Certified Expert and a MAXQDA Professional Trainer, most qualitative analysts know one tool well. I use that dual expertise to pick the right platform for your project instead of forcing your data into whichever software I happen to know, and I bring a technical/analytics background that means your codebooks, matrices, and outputs are clean enough to hand straight to a report writer or a client. Selected Projects (Results-Based) Cross-National Volunteer Programs Study (UK & Greece) Accomplished a full thematic analysis of pediatric hospital volunteer programs, measured by 60 interview transcripts coded and synthesized into a cross-site comparison, by building a shared codebook in NVivo and applying framework analysis to surface best practices and engagement strategies for hospital administrators. Childhood Vaccination Confidence Study (Australia & Saudi Arabia) Accomplished a mixed methods evaluation of vaccine hesitancy drivers, measured by analysis of 1,200+ open- and closed-ended survey responses, by integrating quantitative pattern analysis with qualitative coding of behavioral, cultural, and trust-related themes in MAXQDA. Youth-Led Nutrition Access Assessment (Pakistan) Accomplished a multimodal analysis of Photovoice survey data, measured by a working coding framework and annotation system delivered to the research team, by combining image-based data analysis with qualitative content coding to map themes in food security, poverty, and nutrition access. Primary Health Care & MNCH Baseline Study (Pakistan) Accomplished an evidence base for strengthening healthcare service delivery, measured by 15 Key Informant Interviews and 10 Focus Group Discussions analyzed and reported, by conducting systematic thematic coding of transcripts from healthcare professionals and beneficiaries and translating findings into actionable recommendations. Research Expertise Methods: Thematic · Content · Framework · Grounded Theory · Phenomenological · Mixed Methods · Survey Analysis · FGDs · KIIs Software: NVivo (Certified) · MAXQDA (Trainer) · Voyant · Excel · Python Handles: Transcripts, FGDs, open-ended surveys, social media data, reports, policy docs, audio/video/image data text-heavy or multimodal, I code it. Where I Add the Most Value You have raw data, no structure. I build the codebook, code the transcripts (NVivo/MAXQDA), and hand you a clean, defensible coding framework not just a coded file. You have coded data, need findings. I turn matrices and node structures into a findings chapter or report with evidence-based recommendations your stakeholders can act on. You're stuck picking a method or tool. One-off methodology consultation or NVivo/MAXQDA training, so your team can run future rounds without hiring out. Sectors Healthcare | Public Health | Education | Psychology | Public Policy | Social Research | Non-Profit Organizations | Academic Research | Market Research Qualifications NVivo 13 Certified Expert (Lumivero) MAXQDA Professional Trainer Master's in Computer Science, with applied focus on data analytics and business intelligence bringing structured, technically rigorous coding and analysis workflows to qualitative research Fit Check Good fit if: you have transcripts, FGDs, or survey text sitting unanalyzed, need a codebook or findings chapter a client/board can trust, or want someone who's coded 15+ KIIs and 1,200+ survey responses in a single project before not their first dataset. Not a fit if: you need a purely quantitative stats package, or a rush job with no time for a proper codebook review. Send me your dataset size, tool preference (NVivo/MAXQDA), and deadline. I'll tell you directly whether I can deliver on your timeline before you commit. Nighat
