Case studies

Selected work.Problem, approach, outcome.

Three projects where the constraint was real and the result is measurable.

  1. 2024Berom Community in Diaspora

    Berom AI

    Researcher & Engineer

    • 800k+speakers served
    • +30%online presence

    Problem

    Berom is spoken by roughly 800,000 people in central Nigeria and is almost absent from the internet. Low-resource languages like it are invisible to the models that increasingly mediate access to information — which means the language quietly stops being usable in the places people now live.

    Approach

    Built an NLP model on transformer architectures trained over linguistically enriched Berom datasets, working with the community in diaspora to assemble material that did not previously exist in machine-readable form.

    Outcome

    Improved accuracy and scalability for low-resource NLP, raised Berom's online presence by 30%, and made the language usable in educational and communicative software for its 800,000+ speakers. The work fed into wider research frameworks on indigenous languages.

  2. 2024Ftizisbiomed

    Fluorogram Analysis Model

    ML Engineer

    • 10,000+images processed
    • +20%diagnostic precision

    Problem

    Thoracic abnormalities are missed in routine fluorographic screening, and radiologist time is the bottleneck that makes review at population scale impractical.

    Approach

    Designed a machine-learning pipeline processing 10,000+ fluorographic images using computer vision techniques, tuned for the failure modes that matter clinically rather than for headline accuracy.

    Outcome

    A 20% increase in diagnostic precision, presented at Ftizisbiomed's symposium on AI in healthcare.

  3. 2024Latoken

    Latoken AI Assistant

    Engineer — hackathon winner

    • −50%response time
    • 1,000+weekly interactions

    Problem

    High-volume customer service where response latency, not answer quality, was the thing losing people.

    Approach

    Engineered a conversational assistant on LLMs with context-aware dialogue management, built for sustained throughput rather than demo conditions.

    Outcome

    Cut response time by 50% while handling 1,000+ interactions a week. Won the Latoken AI Hackathon. The findings contributed to frameworks for scalable AI-assisted customer engagement.
