Machine learning and blockchain engineer blending data science expertise with Web3 product leadership.
NigeriaWhat I'm looking for
I am a machine learning and blockchain engineer who builds production-ready systems and leads technical communities. I graduated with a B.Sc. in Mathematics and consistently ranked in the top 1% of my class.
I've founded and deployed the Crypto Inheritance Protocol to enable secure programmable transfer of digital assets and designed protocol modules for inheritance, payments, and tokenization. I organized a campus hackathon that onboarded 500+ students and grew active developer communities across multiple platforms.
As Head of Operations at a Web3 startup based in France, I supervised rollouts of AI-powered blockchain products, drafted data management and privacy frameworks for decentralized AI/crypto systems, and directed user testing and feedback loops. I have hands-on ML engineering experience building image-analysis pipelines and training detection models.
I contribute to open-source and community education—mentoring students, delivering tutorials on Python and machine learning, and publishing research-driven analysis. I seek roles where I can combine ML engineering, protocol design, and community-driven product development.
