What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build and deploy agentic AI and analytics products end-to-end—combining strong modeling with clear communication. I want teams that value measurable impact, civic or real-world utility, and the chance to mentor through teaching.

I’m a results-driven Data Scientist and Applied AI practitioner with 5+ years spanning end-to-end machine learning pipelines, advanced SQL analytics, AI-powered application development, and data-driven digital education. I’m Google Advanced Data Analytics certified and I bring hands-on proficiency in Python, Power BI, and cloud-hosted deployment.

In my lecturing role at GI-KACE, I design and deliver end-to-end Machine Learning and Data Analytics curricula, translating complex AI concepts into clear, actionable insights for technical and non-technical audiences. I’ve also led instructor teams, maintained curriculum quality across cohorts, and collaborated with partners like UNESCO, Huawei, and GES to deliver inclusive learning programmes.

I build real-world civic-tech and predictive systems—such as a full-stack AI-assisted emergency reporting platform deployed in Ghana, plus AI assistants and dashboards that combine knowledge engineering, agent workflows, and production deployment. My focus is embedding intelligent, agentic AI workflows into products and curricula that create measurable impact.
