What I'm looking for

I’m seeking opportunities to grow as a data professional, applying statistical analysis, predictive modelling, and data visualisation to turn complex datasets into decisions—while working toward my M.Sc. in Data Science.

I’m a Statistics graduate from Ahmadu Bello University with a strong foundation in statistical theory, Okwori Python, and data visualisation. Through internships at the National Bureau of Statistics and via SIWES, I applied analytical skills to real datasets in professional Data Scientist/Statistician settings.

I’m driven by extracting meaningful insight from complex data and translating it into decisions that matter. I’m especially interested in Machine Learning, Predictive Modelling, Statistical Inference, Population & Health Data, and Time Series and I enjoy building end-to-end pipelines that start with EDA and lead into supervised learning evaluation.

I’m currently seeking opportunities to grow as a data professional while working toward an M.Sc. in Data Science. I bring an analytical, detail-oriented approach, work well in teams, and learn quickly to support both data analysis and data-driven reporting.
