What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can build ETL pipelines, develop analytics and dashboards, apply spatial/ML methods, and work in collaborative, research-driven teams.

I am a Data and Research Scientist with a strong foundation in geophysics and applied data science, focused on testing, transforming, deploying, and documenting data to support decision-making across academic, oil & gas, agriculture, banking, and fintech sectors.

I have hands-on experience building ETL pipelines, cleaning and validating large datasets, developing Power BI dashboards, and applying machine learning and spatial data techniques; I improved data upload accuracy by 40% at CreditRegistry and contributed core Python analysis for a CGG data project.

I hold a BSc in Geophysics from the University of Lagos, have completed workshops and certifications in spatial data science and data visualization, and I bring meticulous attention to detail, confidentiality, and strong communication to research-driven teams.
