What I'm looking for

I'm interested in data science and machine-learning data operations, with a focus on dataset quality, model evaluation, reproducible analysis, and responsible AI.

In my independent contract AI evaluation and data projects, I assess AI-generated responses against project rubrics for accuracy, relevance, completeness, safety, and instruction adherence. I document evidence-based rationales and recurring model failure patterns.

I’ve designed prompts, evaluation scenarios, scoring criteria, and annotation guidelines, and reviewed text, image, video, audio, and structured data. I also audit labels, resolve discrepancies, and maintain error logs.

At Ecobank, I monitored SME credit portfolio performance and produced early-warning reports. My proactive risk identification and follow-up contributed to a 4% reduction in non-performing loan exposure.

At Centre for Econometrics and Applied Research (CEAR), I supported applied-economics research using regression, forecasting, and quantile and conditional-mean analysis. I contributed to a 2025 Journal of Applied Economics article and co-developed and delivered hands-on econometric-modelling sessions.
