About Me

I am a Medical Doctor and AI Expert with a passion for merging the worlds of healthcare and artificial intelligence. With a robust 6-year track record, I have delivered innovative AI solutions across various domains, including audio processing, computer vision, and natural language processing.

As the lead Engineer and Researcher behind SabiYarn, Nigeria's first LLM capable of text generation in multiple Nigerian languages, I am committed to pushing the boundaries of AI for meaningful societal impact.

My technical proficiency in end-to-end LLM development, including RLHF, allows me to identify challenges and develop trustworthy, compliant technological solutions. I am particularly focused on creating robust, scalable, and ethically-responsible AI that transforms healthcare delivery and preserves cultural diversity through language technology.

My long-term vision lies in the integration of AI, robotics, and nanotechnology to transform healthcare delivery globally.
