About Me

🤖 I solve problems that require machine learning by deploying models to on-prem or cloud environments, monitoring the performance and scaling as needed.

☁️ When it comes to cloud platforms, I have a soft spot for GCP (not just because of the free $300 credits), but I'm also proficient in AWS and Azure .

💻 When I'm not busy cracking code, you'll find me dipping my toes into the open-source pool with projects such as African Whisper and DocIndex(I'm a maintainer of both), or taking the mic at Keras Community .

🏆 Oh, and remember that hackathon from Africa to Silicon Valley? Yeah, I strutted my stuff there too, landing a finalist finalist spot. So, you could say I thrive in the ring of challenges and competition!

🦀 If you want to talk about how Rust is better than all other languages, message me on Twitter.

Professional Experience

Contributor and maintainer

Mar 2024 - Present

African Whisper ASR Framework

  • Developed and maintained African Whisper, an open-source framework designed to enhance Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) capabilities for African languages.
  • Implemented the methodologies from the following research papers:
      • Whisper-X: Time-Accurate Speech Transcription of Long-Form Audio for time-accurate speech recognition with word-level timestamps.

      Pyannote.audio: neural building blocks for speaker diarization for advanced speaker diarization capabilities.


  • Designed the framework to enable developers to fine-tune the Whisper model on multilingual audio datasets and monitor the training process.
  • Implemented features for developing and deploying a production API for audio file transcription or translation using Docker and Docker Compose for container orchestration.
