I am skilled Data Scientist with a strong passion for using data to drive positive change.

Skills

Projects

Context of Terrorism In Somalia

Somalia has faced quite a strife for almost 30 years and most of those was between clans. This project will reveal insights on the types of attacks prevalent in Somalia, Where these attacks are mostly targeted and what types of weapons are employed.

Traffic Management in Somalia

Traffic management in Somalia has become an issue in recent years. This project aims to employ computer vision and AI to enhance safety, track and detect vehicles and improve safety.

Digitizing Documents & Books for Accessibility with Machine Translation in Bhutan

Prediciting Earthquakes in Turkey

Turkey resides intricate convergence of the Eurasian Plate, African Plate, and Arabian Plate. I contributed to a team endeavoring to devise a machine learning model. Its purpose was to predict earthquake occurrences, encompassing their timing, magnitude, depth and potential fatalities.

Solving Unemployment in Nigeria

To help mitigate the employment crisis in Nigeria, I was part of a team tasked to create a machine learning model that will merge National Youth Service Corps graduates with possible job opportunities based on their career path and to provide employable job skills recommendation to NYSC graduates.

Optimizing Routes for Logistics in Colombia

The logistics industry, bears a burden, particularly with the growth of e-commerce in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. To mitigate this challenge, I was part of a team tasked with developing an AI model using Operations Research tools to optimize delivery routes based on vehicle, capacity of load

Mobile Money Transactions Analysis

In this project, I was assigned the duty of developing an end to end data reporting tool to explore mobile money transaction data from a major telecommunications company for informed decision making.

AI Techniques to Reduce Wasting of Freshwater

The danger of the water crisis in Egypt increased with the presence of regional conflicts over the water of the Nile River. I was part of a team tasked with exploring relevant resources and developing a web application to identify trends and reveal insights on how to reduce the wasting of freshwater

Experience

Freelance

Data Scientist at Mogadishu Port Authority

My main duties and responsibilities was to clean, prepare and analyse data collected by statistics department and store data in a secure cloud-based data warehouses. I was tasked to design business intelligence tools that are pivotal in enhancing port operations and decision-making processes. I was also tasked to manipulate data collected by employing highly sophisticated machine-learning algorithms to identify trends and reveal insights.

Remote

Machine Learning Engineer at Omdena

I was part of a team tasked with developing an AI model using Operations Research tools to optimize delivery routes based on vehicle, capacity of load and destination in Colombia. I was part of team that was tasked to design and develop a machine learning model for earthquake prediction in Turkey. This model would predict when the next earthquake would occur, the magnitude and depth of the earthquake and the number of fatalities that may be reported.

Remote

Lead Machine Learning Engineer at Omdena

I was part of a team that was tasked to develop a neural machine translation model that automatically translates the input data/documents written in Bhutan’s native language (Dzongkha) to English (and vice-versa) and creates a digital copy by storing it in the cloud. I was tasked to develop an algorithm that facilitates romanization of Dzongkha characters for accurate tokenization.
