What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply my product leadership and hands-on data skills to data science or business analytics work, using Python, SQL, visualization, and product insights to improve business and user outcomes.

I've led product strategy and delivery for Mular's crypto-to-Naira off-ramp, driving 25% month-over-month active-user growth within six months while processing thousands of monthly transactions. I also improved retention by 30% through referral programs, lifecycle campaigns, cohort analysis, and behavioral segmentation.

At Retna Africa, I supported a creator economy platform serving 11,400+ contributors and 750 active creators, growing creator uploads by 10% year over year. I launched tipping and monetization features and improved time-to-market by 30% through stronger agile delivery, backlog prioritization, and stakeholder alignment.

Earlier, I built products at Decagon and Betazoo, including a developer hiring platform that improved placement rates by 85% cohort over cohort and Instavoice, a voicemail platform serving 14 million daily active subscribers. I'm now applying Python, SQL, MySQL, Tableau, and analytics to make sharper product and business decisions.
