Lead Data Scientist with expertise in AI and machine learning.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated Lead Data Scientist and Python Instructor with a strong foundation in mechanical engineering and a passion for leveraging AI and machine learning to solve complex problems. My journey began with a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Lagos, where I graduated with Second Class Upper Division. Over the years, I have honed my skills in programming, data engineering, and machine learning, leading to significant contributions in various projects and roles.
At Bravplus Technologies, I designed and deployed innovative AI solutions, including a mental health chatbot and an automobile damage detection system, which not only enhanced user experience but also improved operational efficiency. My previous role as a Machine Learning Engineer at Apace Technologies allowed me to develop credit scoring models that reduced default rates and improved customer satisfaction. I thrive in collaborative environments, working alongside engineers to integrate machine learning insights into product development, ensuring that our solutions are both effective and reliable.
