About Me
A focused overview of my academic background, professional experience, and technical strengths.
Career Objective
I hold two Master's degrees with Distinction: a Master of I.T. from James Cook University, Australia and a Master of Electrical Engineering from the University of Nigeria, Nigeria. My academic training spans Electronic and Electrical Engineering, Cloud Computing, and Artificial Intelligence, providing a strong interdisciplinary foundation for research and system development.
Prior to transitioning into information technology, my work focused on power electronics and renewable energy systems, where I designed and analysed novel multilevel inverter topologies and associated control strategies. This work resulted in peer-reviewed publications in leading power electronics journals, reflecting both theoretical rigour and practical relevance. In parallel, I held a leadership role at Palm Tree Technology, where I led electrical and solar installation projects, overseeing system design, deployment, and on-site implementation for electrical and renewable energy solutions.
Following this, I built professional experience across multiple roles in the IT sector, including Software Developer at Nanocodes, Machine Learning and Data Engineer at JutaLab, and IT Consultant at Study Cairns. In these roles, I worked on software development, data-driven systems, and enterprise IT infrastructure, contributing to the reliability, security, and operational resilience of critical systems.
In parallel with industry roles, I have engaged in academic and research endeavors. I served as a research assistant Elelctrical Engineering, Hokkaido University, Japan, and later taught at the University of Ibadan. I am currently a casual academic at James Cook University, supporting lead lecturers in Advanced and Mobile computing subjects
I am presently undertaking a PhD in Artificial Intelligence at James Cook University, Australia. My research ambition is to integrate artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, cloud computing, and enterprise IT systems to develop scalable, data-driven solutions for complex real-world challenges, with a particular focus on a focused mental health. I am driven by a commitment to ethical innovation, robust system design, and the translation of research into practical impact for healthcare and society
