What I'm looking for

I’m looking to combine academia, technical expertise, and data science to drive organizational innovation. I’m especially interested in applying machine learning and analytics to improve programme outcomes, data accuracy, and operational efficiency.

At Federal University of Technology, Babura, I deliver undergraduate computing lectures and design course materials and assessments to National Universities Commission standards. I also maintain a peer-reviewed publication record.

At IVAN Research Institute, University of Nigeria Nsukka, I managed the data component of a multi-site longitudinal health research programme. I designed data collection tools and data management systems with REDCap and mHealth, and established quality assurance frameworks for the study sites.

At Oxford Policy Management (OPM) - National Agency for the Control of AIDS - NACA, I supported national HIV/AIDS resource tracking and ran National AIDS Spending Assessment analyses using the NASA-RTT framework. I also contributed to technical validation of the 2019–2021 assessment report.

As Regional Coordinator, North-West Nigeria for Internet Society (ISOC), Nigeria Chapter, I coordinate programmes on internet governance, data governance, and digital inclusion. My research and publications also explore DNS policy, machine learning, and data governance.
