What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a Junior Analyst role where I can use my statistical, research, and analytical skills to support evidence-based research and decision-making.

For my final-year research project at Osun State University, I studied Nigerian stock market forecasting using time-series analysis and deep learning. I prepared historical market data, evaluated SARIMA, RNN, LSTM, and GRU models, and compared their performance using multiple metrics.

In independent academic projects, I supported students and researchers with data preparation, statistical analysis, and interpretation. I also analysed Nobel Prize trends with Python and examined fertilizer-brand differences in maize yields using statistical tests.
