What I'm looking for

I am looking for a challenging role that allows me to utilize my skills in data science and software development while contributing to organizational growth.

I am a recent Computer Science graduate with a strong foundation in software development, network and system administration, cybersecurity, ethical hacking, data analysis, and data science. My academic journey and work experience have equipped me to tackle complex technical challenges through innovative solutions and collaboration. I am passionate about continuous learning, particularly in data science and machine learning, and I am eager to leverage my technical skills in dynamic, growth-oriented environments.

Currently, I serve as a Database Administrator at Guaranty Trust Bank, where I manage and optimize complex databases to enhance operational efficiency. My previous role as a Developer at FinTechIT Solutions allowed me to create web-based applications and engage with clients to ensure their needs were met effectively. I have also contributed to the development of the MUST Ticketing System during my internship, showcasing my ability to apply my skills in real-world scenarios.

As the Lead of the MUST Google Student Developer Club, I organized events and workshops focused on data science and machine learning, fostering a collaborative learning environment. My leadership experience as Class President has further honed my organizational and communication skills, allowing me to advocate for student needs and promote interdisciplinary collaboration.
