What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role where I can lead and scale ethical AI and analytics solutions, mentor teams, and drive measurable business impact.

I am a Data and AI professional who builds scalable analytics and automation solutions that deliver fast, actionable insights. I combine technical depth with strategic thinking to align data initiatives to business goals.

My work includes automating SQL-to-Excel reporting, developing English-to-SQL and NLP tools, and building predictive fault models using transformers and LSTMs. I have implemented Power BI dashboards with structured access controls and telematics analysis to improve visibility and security.

I led data science teams and projects that produced AI chatbots, OCR pipelines, Flask-based reporting, web-scraping pipelines, forecasting tools, and real-time diagnostics that transformed manual work into instant insights. I mentor colleagues and champion inclusion and knowledge transfer.

I hold an MBA with specialization in Digital Transformation and a BSc in Information Systems, and I have been recognized among Africa’s Top 15 Young Geeks and nominated for multiple tech and knowledge-transfer awards. I seek roles where I can drive ethical, strategic data initiatives and scale AI solutions for impact.
