Biography
I am an aspiring software developer and active job seeker based in Nigeria, focused on building a career in data engineering, analytics engineering, and software development. I started with Python and SQL, and have been steadily expanding my knowledge across the technology stack.
My interest in technology is not abstract — I want to build systems that address real problems. The project I am most excited about is a data pipeline and analytics platform that surfaces security and terrorism trends across Nigeria and the Sahel region, using public datasets to inform civil society and policymakers.
I am looking for internship opportunities, mentorship, and connections within the technology community. I believe in building in public and sharing my learning journey openly on GitHub.
