Welcome to My Portfolio

Showcasing my journey in technology as I transition into software engineering. Explore my skill sets and projects!

About Me

Hello! I’m a Nigerian with deep passion for technology and its potential to advance the human race. My interests lie at the intersection of Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Computational Linguistics, exploring how raw data can evolve into insight that can power the next generation of intelligent systems. With a Bachelor’s degree in English, I bring a unique linguistic and analytical perspective into the world of data-driven innovation. Having trained through a Software Engineering bootcamp, my journey has spanned software engineering, web development, data analysis and science, natural language processing (NLP), and computational linguistics. My current focus lies in machine learning algorithms, data pipelines and warehouse architecture, data quality, security and governance, model development, and AI infrastructure; bridging engineering, language, reasoning, predictions and intelligence in modern technology. Beyond technology, I’m passionate about giving back through education-focused volunteering, aligning with SDG4 (Quality Education) because I believe that access to quality education remains one of the most powerful tools for reshaping the patterns of individual and community lives; and even history itself.

Live Projects

BRC Blog Integration & Content System

Description: Led the Blog Integration Team for the Black Rising Community website (blackrisingcommunity.org), delivering sprint plans, managing contributors, and developing the live blog feature using React and TypeScript to match provided Figma design. Configured and integrated Contentful CMS for dynamic blog management, including setting up content models, API environments, and reusable React components for listing, testimonial, scholars and detail pages. As Content Team Lead, I also generated blog ideas, distributed writing tasks to team members, sourced visuals, and authored the featured article, “Why the Future of Innovation is Africa.”

Languages: TypeScript, JavaScript

Framework, Database and Dependencies: React, Vite, Tailwind CSS, Contentful CMS

Auction App

Description: Auction-App is a fullstack, tested and documented online auction platform built with Flask, Socket.IO, Docker, Redis, Cloudinary and MongoEngine. The app delivers real-time live bidding updates powered by Flask-Socket.IO, allowing users to compete in dynamic auctions as prices update instantly. It enables users to register, log in securely with JWT, create and manage auction listings, and place bids in real-time. Redis handles session management and real-time caching, while Cloudinary manages image uploads for auction items. The backend is designed with a layered architecture separating routers, services, repositories, and models for maintainability and scalability. The entire project is containerized with Docker, integrating a MongoEngine database as an ODM for managing flexible, document-based data in MongoDB.

Languages: Python

Framework, Database and dependencies: Flask, MongoEngine,

Niger Local Links (Capstone Project)

Description: This was my capstone project at Semicolon Africa Academy, developed through the design thinking process — asking key “Why” and “How might we” questions to uncover the needs of Nigeria's local governments and citizens.

The app — Revenue Collection & Service Delivery Modernization System — is an open-source framework built to digitize Local Government Authority (LGA) operations. It addresses challenges such as ₦500B in annual revenue loss, long reporting delays, and unverified property records. The solution streamlines public services, bridges data gaps, and enhances transparency and citizen trust.

Role: Frontend Engineer (Team of 2)

Responsibilities: Led the design and development of the frontend interface using React, Tailwind CSS, and JavaScript. Collaborated with the backend engineer to integrate Java RESTful APIs, implement responsive UI, and deploy the platform.

Languages: JavaScript, Java

Frameworks & Tools: React, Tailwind CSS, Spring Boot, Render, Vercel
