What I'm looking for

I seek roles building production ML systems and web apps where I can apply computer vision and NLP expertise, work on impactful datasets, and grow in deployment and scalable architecture.

I am a results-driven Data Scientist and Machine Learning Engineer with hands-on experience designing and deploying ML models for computer vision, NLP, and predictive analytics. I build end-to-end pipelines and web integrations using Python, Flask, React, and PostgreSQL to deliver production-ready solutions.

My projects include a CNN-based brain tumor detector (96%+ accuracy and high F1), a content-based movie recommender, and an SMS spam classifier, showcasing strong performance across vision and text domains. I have reduced preprocessing time by up to 30% through pipeline optimizations and actively contribute to open-source AI efforts.

I am passionate about applying advanced AI to solve real-world and social challenges, and I have led development of a multilingual platform to empower African ML talent using regionally relevant datasets.
