About Me
A focused overview of my academic background, professional experience, and technical strengths.
Career Objective
I hold two Master’s degrees — one in Information Technology (with Distinction) from James Cook University and another in Electrical Engineering (with Distinction) from the University of Nigeria.
Before transitioning to IT, I worked in power electronics, designing novel configurations of multilevel inverters and their associated control schemes, which led to two publications in top-tier power electronics journals.
In the IT field, I have held diverse roles, including Software Developer at Nanocodes, Machine Learning and Data Engineer at JutaLab, and IT Support Engineer at Risk 2 Solution, where I contributed to safeguarding critical systems (true to their motto, “protecting what counts”).
During my penultimate undergraduate year, I also served as a research assistant at the School of Engineering, Hokkaido University, Japan.
I am currently pursuing a PhD in AI at James Cook University, Australia. My ambition is to harness my expertise in AI, cloud computing, and IT support to create scalable, data-driven solutions that address critical healthcare challenges — particularly in perinatal mental health. I am passionate about advancing automation, enhancing decision-making, and delivering impactful, ethical innovations for forward-thinking organizations.
