I am a fast-growing, organized, self-driven, and hardworking data scientist with strong statistical, analytical, visualization, interpersonal, and communication skills, currently working with Zummit Africa as a Data Scientist. I have about 4 years of teaching experience - tutoring young talents and helping them achieve their goals.

Although I have an engineering background with a first-class degree from the University of Ibadan, I am passionate about exploring, analyzing, and making insightful results from data in digital strategy and engineering consulting firms. I love exploring trends with data to communicate technical insights in an understandable way for companies to employ the best strategies to optimize operations. This is the reason I am here to teach you how to become a proficient data scientist.

I have worked on a couple of projects which include: creating a model for house price prediction using CatBoostRegressor with an R squared value of 0.91 in predicting the prices of houses. Afterward, I used FastAPI to develop model deployment for interactive usage. I have also worked on using Logistic Regression to build a model for detecting spam emails after which I deployed the models using FastAPI. In addition, I have developed a model for Handwritten digit recognition with an accuracy of 99.5% using Tensorflow and Keras.

My teaching style is project-based. I take you through a series of project-based examples of concepts I will be teaching you. Also, I will be exposing you to industrial knowledge you will need to excel in the data field. This method has proven to be 100% effective over my couple of years teaching young talents python, data analysis, and data science.

With my years of experience using SQL, Python, Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, and Tableau, I have proven to be vast in making insightful visualizations with data. You are permitted to meet me while being confused about your career path in the Tech space, but you can never remain the same once I start teaching you.

It is not boasting, but my results speak for me, anytime, anywhere!
