About

Professional summary

I am a Data Scientist with more than five years of experience delivering end-to-end machine learning solutions, from raw data ingestion and feature engineering through evaluation, deployment, and stakeholder adoption.

I specialize in risk modeling, anomaly detection, forecasting, and rigorous model evaluation. I focus on identifying data leakage, spurious correlations, calibration issues, and subgroup failures before models affect business decisions.

I build production-ready Python and SQL solutions using tools including Pandas, Scikit-learn, XGBoost, BigQuery, Django, and Git. I have experience automating ELT workflows, maintaining data integrity, and troubleshooting distributed data issues.

I communicate complex model behavior, uncertainty, limitations, and risk factors clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders. My work combines statistical discipline with practical decisioning needs in fraud, e-commerce risk, and analytics contexts.

I use generative AI tools such as ChatGPT and Claude to accelerate code generation, debugging, testing, documentation, and review while retaining independent judgment and rigorous final code review.

I am based in Lagos, Nigeria, available for remote UK engagements, and open to contract or employer-of-record opportunities without sponsorship requirements.

Career history

Data Scientist Consultant Nabiant Analytics

Owned the end-to-end development of a client-facing forecasting model, including raw data ingestion, feature engineering, model training, evaluation, and production deployment. Built production machine-learning models using XGBoost and implemented quantile-regression prediction intervals to flag low-confidence decisions.

Conducted segmented error analysis and calibration checks to identify model failure modes and spurious correlations before delivery. Wrote production-grade Python, used generative AI tools to accelerate testing and documentation, and communicated model limitations and risk factors directly to stakeholders.

Data Specialist Redivivus

Built and maintained production-ready data models using advanced SQL and BigQuery on Google Cloud Platform, supporting downstream analytics and risk evaluation while maintaining data integrity.

Automated ELT transformation pipelines, reducing manual processing overhead by 25% and standardizing recurring workflows. Worked in a shared codebase to troubleshoot distributed data issues, failed jobs, and incorrect joins, improving system reliability.
