Education & Career
As a Data Analytics Specialist (Customer Engineer) at Google, I help businesses tackle their Data Engineering and Analytics challenges, guiding them through their Digital Transformation. My focus was on leveraging solutions on Google Cloud Platform, while also supporting on-prem and multi-cloud environments to meet diverse business needs.
Previously, I worked at Microsoft with the Azure Rapid Response team within Data & Enterprise Cloud, where I supported top-tier Azure customers in Western Europe.
Whilst in Nigeria, I worked at FMDQ and KPMG as a Software Engineer - developing in-house Enterprise Applications. However, since I moved to Europe, I have been more focused on working with Data - taking roles in Data Engineering, Business Intelligence and Data Science.
My Masters Course in Data Science and Advanced Analytics at Nova University of Lisbon (NOVA IMS), has been my inspiration and eye opener to many fun personal projects that I do with Machine Learning these days. I believe it’s just only a matter of time until I enroll for that PhD program for a grand return to academia for full-time research.

Served just before my NYSC batch
I worked with Sadeeq in FMDQ, at a time when the Exchange was building multiple technology platforms to drive the transparency and standardisation that is required in the Nigerian Debt Capital and Currencies markets. Sadeeq was the only programmer that was fully dedicated to these projects at the time, and he pulled off what appeared to be an impossible feat. Despite juggling many technology projects at the same time in a high pressured environment, he always maintained a calm demeanour and delivered outstanding results. He is one tech guy I will stick it out for anyday, any time.
