## What I'm looking for

```text
I'm looking to solve data, AI, and business-risk problems by building reliable, cost-effective data and LLM platforms. I value work involving real-time pipelines, data quality, cloud infrastructure, finance or risk analytics, and meaningful AI use cases.
```

## About

```text
I've built data and AI infrastructure for Nkenne AI, Consultancy Group, Apollo Internet, and Itex Integrated Services, improving streaming latency, warehouse performance, data reliability, and reporting outcomes.

At Consultancy Group, I redesigned streaming pipelines with Kafka, automated agentic web scrapers, unified data from six-plus partners, and delivered yield optimization that improved partner revenue performance by 15%.

I turn transactional and operational data into trusted platforms for fraud detection, compliance, anti-laundering, customer analytics, and LLM-based intelligence. My work spans Python, SQL, PySpark, Kafka, Airflow, Databricks, AWS, warehouses, data quality, and cloud migration.
