Data Scientist & Product Builder · Lagos, Nigeria
Hi! I'm a statistics undergraduate at the University of Lagos and a data scientist in Lagos, Nigeria. The short version of what I do: I analyse things, then I build them.
Most of my work starts as a Lagos-sized problem. So far I've built a skill-verification engine for Nigeria's 41 million informal workers (Recivo, 2nd of 1,600+ teams at GTCO Squad 3.0); designed and shipped a verified student-housing marketplace solo, end-to-end (Setld); and built an AI symptom checker with a doctor-review workflow (Soma). When I'm not building, I'm investigating: in-depth analyses on the reality of real estate in Lagos, whether headline sentiment moves engagement, and what predicts learner outcomes at ALX Nigeria.
Outside of building, I facilitated the data science track at CJID's AI Campus Network at UNILAG, and I now serve on the training & competitions core team at GDGoC UNILAG. I also co-founded a 50+ member data science study group and spoke to 200+ high-school students at YIBA TechUp.
Non-work-wise, I shoot photos and video, sketch, and read widely enough to maintain a respectable bank of not-yet-useful knowledge.
