What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can build and deploy AI/ML and geospatial solutions, collaborate cross-functionally, and work on impactful projects that translate data into policy or operational improvements.

I am a Data Scientist and AI developer with a foundation in Geography and Planning, focused on turning complex data into actionable intelligence for organizations and policy research.

At the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies I build and deploy AI-driven systems using LLMs and RAG pipelines, and I have designed tools including an AI tutoring system and an email phishing detection model to improve digital engagement and security.

I have applied geospatial analytics in roles at Geoinfotech Nigeria and Konfluence Resources, processing drone, survey and remote-sensing data to support land mapping, resource allocation, and risk assessment while producing clear visualizations and operational reports.

My portfolio includes projects in ML/DL (phishing detection, cancer and diabetes prediction, ResNet image classification), IoT actuator prediction, and large-scale sentiment analysis for airline customer experience. I bring a detail-oriented, analytical approach and collaborate cross-functionally to align data solutions with institutional goals.
