What I'm looking for

I’m looking for roles that combine AI/LLM model training and evaluation with data-driven operations, collaborative teams, and opportunities to scale impact across products and infrastructure.

I am an AI and telecom operations specialist with over six years of experience combining vendor management, field operations, and data-driven decision-making. I bridge traditional telecom operations with modern AI/ML workflows to deliver measurable performance improvements.

In my current roles I support LLM fine-tuning, RLHF, prompt evaluation, and annotation projects, collaborating with cross-functional teams to improve model safety, factuality, and coherence. I also perform structured linguistic annotation in English and Hausa for NLP pipelines.

In telecom operations I have managed vendor and customer relationships across thousands of sites, driven cost-saving initiatives, and implemented predictive analytics and monitoring to reduce downtime and SLA breaches. I have led field teams and overseen asset lifecycle management and diesel supply chains.

I bring technical fluency in Python, SQL, Power BI, Hugging Face and the OpenAI API, along with project management experience and a continuous learning mindset demonstrated by ongoing certifications in AI and data science.
