What I'm looking for

I seek roles applying ML/AI and statistical methods to healthcare, climate, or finance, with emphasis on research-driven, collaborative teams, practical deployments, and opportunities to mentor and scale impact.

I am a data scientist and AI engineer with strong mathematical foundations in machine learning, statistical analysis, and AI, currently pursuing an MSc in Applied Statistics for Life Sciences. I have hands-on experience across computer vision, NLP, time series forecasting, and quantitative finance, and I apply rigorous data-driven methods to healthcare, climate, and emerging-market problems.

My work includes award-winning competition performance (Silver Medal, AirQo African Air Quality Prediction Challenge), deployed projects like a portfolio optimization platform tailored to African markets, and research contributions in medical imaging for sickle cell crisis detection and spatial econometrics studies. I also train and mentor others in Python data science and contribute to reproducible, auditable AI solutions.
