About
Hi 👋,
Thank you for stopping by.
I am a Dev Degree Intern at Shopify, a Generation Google Scholar and an adept Data Scientist, proficient in Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and Software Engineering for Data Science.
I have extensive experience building end-to-end Machine Learning applications - from data collection to hosting models on various cloud services - in solving real-life problems.
I am particularly interested in the intersection of Artificial intelligence and Healthcare. This inspired my brief attempt to pursue an undergraduate degree in Medical Rehabilitation at Obafemi Awolowo University, Nigeria, before I relocated to Ottawa, Canada, to pursue a Bachelor of Computer Science (Honors) at Carleton University.
I started my career as a Data Scientist at Lendsqr. I later became the Founding Data Scientist at Nazari, a dynamic opinion mining platform for crypto assets on the Algorand protocol that enables users to understand the degree of hype and interest around a specific crypto asset.
I am on the path toward becoming a Google Developer Expert in Machine Learning. It is also worth mentioning my ever-growing vision to make large-scale impacts by contributing my bits daily to the planet earth, hence my active participation in volunteering in mentorship programs like She Code Africa, Zindi Africa, Open Source Community Africa, and Women Tech Network where I was the first runner up for a Mentor of the Year and Global Ambassador of the Year Awards.
I have a newly founded Youtube Channel where I plan to share my tech journey, building tech careers, scholarship opportunities, tech interviews, and whatnot, especially for muggles in the industry.
During my free time, you can find me on TikTok, creating funny and educating tech content.

Tackling Online Harassment Through Allies
-
See project- 2 in every 5 women have experienced different forms of online harassment, my team and I
built a working solution called "SafeCyber" to help tackle this through allies.
- Victim or friend of victim reports a case of harassment by filling the online form.
- Built a classifier model of about 80% accuracy, predicts and categorizes the form data: into
harassment types and action to be taken.
- Form data and predictions are saved in the admin database. Records are also forwarded to…- 2 in every 5 women have experienced different forms of online harassment, my team and I

- Victim or friend of victim reports a case of harassment by filling the online form.
- Built a classifier model of about 80% accuracy, predicts and categorizes the form data: into
harassment types and action to be taken.
- Form data and predictions are saved in the admin database. Records are also forwarded to the decision-makers within the ally organization.
- This has helped eliminate physical and emotional stress in about 1000 women. -
Wikimedia Data Dump
-
See project- Developed an approach by working on the Wikipedia data dump, API pages, and Protection
Pages.
- Used Python packages in decompressing and extracting data from the dump.
- Did statistical analysis and sophisticated visualizations to generate insights from the data.
- Stacked ml algorithms were used to predict if a protection type can be edited or moved.
- we achieved about 75% accuracy. -
Elixir Cancer Diagnosis AI Based System
-
