Engineer by training.
AI builder by conviction.

I'm a Junior AI Engineer at Bluechip Technologies in Lagos, where I design and deploy machine learning systems for Nigeria's leading financial institutions β€” including the Central Bank of Nigeria, Wema Bank, and Providus Bank.

My foundation is a B.Eng. in Mechanical Engineering from Covenant University (2023), which gave me a deep appreciation for systems thinking, modelling, and precision β€” principles I now apply to building intelligent, production-ready AI solutions.

I'm driven by one question: how can AI create real leverage for organisations operating in complex, high-stakes environments? Whether it's detecting financial fraud in milliseconds or building tools that help banks understand their customers, I want the work to matter.
