What I'm looking for

I seek roles building production ML/AI products at startups or growth-stage teams, where I can ship MVPs, improve MLOps, and mentor others.

I am a first-class BSc (Hons) Software Engineering graduate with a specialization in Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence, experienced in building production-ready web and AI products. I have founded a tech company and shipped multiple MVPs and apps that solved real user problems under tight deadlines.

My work includes developing a Shopify app to automate dropship order communications, creating a WhatsApp ChatGPT chatbot that reached 300+ users in regions with high connectivity costs, and building an AI-powered housing marketplace with adaptive recommendations. I also authored 60+ technical articles on data engineering, ML, and web development that educated thousands of readers.

I hold certifications including AWS Cloud Solutions Architect Associate and IBM Machine Learning, and I bring practical skills across ML frameworks, data engineering tools, cloud platforms, web stacks, and product-focused engineering to help teams ship scalable, user-centered AI products.
