AI and machine learning engineer at Dala Innovations, building a bilingual RAG pipeline and fine-tuning geospatial models for flood mapping.

Nigeria
Message

At Dala Innovations, I built an end-to-end RAG pipeline that processes bilingual corpus data for semantic search, and fine-tuned text-to-text transformer models. I also designed automated web-scraping pipelines with validation and quality-control checks.

I'm currently fine-tuning the Prithvi geospatial foundation model on Sentinel-1 SAR imagery to map floods in Nigeria. My independent project uses TerraTorch and TorchGeo, with a domain-adaptation pipeline targeting Nigeria-specific ground truth.

At National Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA), I supported satellite imagery analysis and contributed to training and evaluating ML models on environmental datasets. I also developed and delivered GIS and remote-sensing training for Nigerian federal agency personnel.

On the “Remember” team product, I contributed to a multi-modal content pipeline and helped develop evidence-based safeguards for generated responses. I also built and deployed “Aria,” a Discord RAG bot on Google Cloud Platform, and co-authored a report on the AI agent ecosystem.
