Profile

About

Reliable, evidence-grounded AI—from published research to production.

Final-year Computer Science student, AI engineer, and published researcher working on trustworthy and explainable AI, multi-agent systems, Retrieval-Augmented Generation, medical AI, and production software engineering. I founded Konexium, an AI-native B2B research platform for African markets, and contribute to the Anserini and Pyserini information-retrieval toolkits.

My work spans backend architecture, model integration, retrieval and evaluation, human-in-the-loop workflows, and interpretability—built to be checked, not just trusted.
