ABOUT ME

Get to know me!

I'm a results-driven technologist with 16+ years of experience bridging Business Intelligence and AI-enabled application development. I specialize in translating complex business requirements into scalable solutions using AI-assisted development, data architecture, and analytics.

My expertise spans AI & Modern Development (AI-assisted coding, prompt engineering, machine learning integration), enterprise BI tools (Power BI, Oracle Analytics, Tableau), and full-stack development (Python, Flutter, JavaScript). I've led end-to-end projects across U.S. and international markets, delivering executive-level insights that drive strategic decision-making.

Currently, I'm pioneering AI-assisted development workflows as a Lead AI-Assisted Application Developer, where I've accelerated development cycles by 70% while maintaining enterprise-grade code quality. I've also mentored teams and spearheaded digital transformation initiatives for portfolio companies across Africa.

I'm open to opportunities where I can contribute my unique blend of BI expertise and modern AI development skills. If you have a project that could benefit from data-driven insights and cutting-edge technology, let's connect.
