What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation and offers opportunities for growth.

As a Mandela Rhodes Scholar and a master's student in Information Systems at the University of Cape Town, I am dedicated to leveraging technology for social impact. My academic journey began with a first-class honors degree in Computer Engineering from Covenant University, where I graduated in the top 5% of my program. With multiple certifications in AWS, Cisco, and Power BI, I possess a robust technical foundation that complements my analytical skills.

In my recent role as a Data Analyst at Old Mutual Nigeria, I designed and implemented sales and claims dashboards, utilizing Python and Power BI to deliver actionable insights. My experience spans various programming languages and frameworks, including SQL, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, which I applied in developing applications for notable organizations such as Wema Bank and Phos Mobile. I am eager to further my academic pursuits with a PhD in Information Systems or Computer Science, aiming to contribute to innovative solutions in the tech industry.
