What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a data science or analytics role where strong statistical fundamentals and demonstrated project delivery count. I want to turn real-world data into clear, actionable insights while continuing to grow in machine learning, analytics, and stakeholder communication.

I've built four deployed data science projects spanning loan default prediction, Nigerian equities risk analysis, fintech A/B testing, and macroeconomic modelling. My work combines data collection, cleaning, modelling, validation, visualisation, and clear documentation.

For a 32K-record lending dataset, I built and compared logistic regression and random forest models, achieving an AUC-ROC of 0.83, then deployed a Streamlit app that translates predictions into plain-language risk scores. I also found a 14% onboarding completion improvement in a fintech experiment and turned the statistical result into an executive recommendation.

At Start Smart Nigeria Limited, I collect, organise, and analyse project data, document reproducible workflows, and write clear briefs for non-technical leads. With a B.Sc. in Statistics and hands-on Python, R, SQL, Power BI, and Tableau work, I'm ready to deliver practical analytics and data science outcomes.
