About me

I'm an AI/ML engineer and edtech entrepreneur passionate about leveraging technology for positive change. As the co-founder of Notes, I deliver tailored learning resources to students across Africa and the Caribbean. At just 18, I was honored as a Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) for my contributions to the Excel community, sharing knowledge through in-depth blog posts and open-source projects.

My work involves building innovative solutions that are not only functional but also impactful. I focus on ethical AI/ML applications, with projects ranging from personalized learning recommendation systems to AI-powered drone weapon detection systems. I'm deeply involved in tech education, volunteering as an instructor at Tech Optimum and serving as a judge for international youth competitions like Wevoi, Owlypia, and Technovation. I am committed to continuous learning, community engagement, and mentoring the next generation of technologists.
