01. About Me

As an AI Engineer and NLP Developer, I have a passion for creating innovative solutions that leverage the power of artificial intelligence and natural language processing. I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Computing from the University of Bolton and am certified in generative AI and data ethics with a focus on responsible innovation.


In my current role at the University of Bolton, I developed a custom emotional synthesis model using deep learning techniques to score mental exhaustion. This involved data preprocessing and feature extraction from textual data for sentiment analysis, followed by designing and training models to identify patterns of mental strain with high accuracy. I collaborated with researchers to validate the scoring system and integrate findings into actionable insights.


I led the development of an Igala translation model, creating a dataset of 600 translated English-Igala word pairs and building a user-friendly web application for translation. My work focuses on bridging the gap between cutting-edge AI research and practical applications that create real-world impact.
