About Me
I am a PhD student in Data Science with the Science Foundation Ireland Centre for Research Training in Foundations of Data Science. My research focuses on natural language processing, with a particular interest in low-resource African languages.
I hold a National Diploma in Mathematics and Statistics from Moshood Abiola Polytechnic with a distinction, a BSc in Statistics from the University of Ibadan with a first-class grade, and an MSc in Mathematical Science from AIMS Rwanda.
I am passionate about machine learning, computational linguistics, and inclusive AI — committed to increasing the representation of African languages in technology.
