The Challenge

The online dating market is saturated, but we identified a gap for tech professionals who seek partners with similar interests and career paths. Mainstream apps often failed to capture the nuances of this demographic, leading to low-quality matches and user fatigue.

The Process & Solution

The core innovation was a machine learning algorithm that went beyond simple profile data. It analyzed users' interests, communication styles, and in-app behavior to predict compatibility, resulting in a 40% improvement in match compatibility rates. I also designed an A/B testing plan for the onboarding flow, which reduced the drop-off rate by 28%.

The Impact

• User retention increased from 45% to 75%, a 67% improvement.
• AI-driven match recommendations led to a 35% increase in daily active users.

The Challenge

In many underserved communities across Nigeria, accessing healthcare is a significant challenge. Patients face long wait times, a lack of information about available services, and difficulties in booking appointments, especially in low-connectivity environments.

The Process & Solution

Based on on-the-ground user research, we prioritized core accessibility features like offline functionality and multilingual support (English, Hausa, Yoruba). Partnering with local clinics, we integrated their schedules, allowing for real-time booking which reduced average appointment wait times by 50%.

The Impact

• Onboarded over 10,000 active users within six months of launch.
• Achieved a 95% user satisfaction rate in post-launch surveys.

The Challenge

Personal finance management is tedious. Users complained about the hours spent manually categorizing expenses, leading to low engagement. The opportunity was to create a "zero-effort" finance app that used AI to automate the most time-consuming tasks.

The Process & Solution

By analyzing user data, we identified expense categorization as the biggest pain point. We developed an AI model to automate this process, which saved users an average of 10 hours per month. We also ensured the architecture was robust, successfully supporting 5x user growth without performance degradation.

The Impact

• A 35% increase in user engagement through features like automated budgeting alerts.
• A significant increase in positive app store reviews, specifically mentioning the automation feature.

Overview

Brightyield Golden Resources Limited is a finance firm in Abuja, Nigeria, specializing in loans to police officers and civil servants, leveraging the IPPIS infrastructure for direct deductions. I led initiatives to streamline operations and transform a loan process that was previously manual and prone to delays.

The Challenge

• Extended processing times — loan approvals often took 7–10 days.
• Manual data entry caused inaccuracies, increasing operational costs by ~25%.
• The firm struggled to handle 30% year-over-year client growth.

The Solution

I proposed digitizing the loan workflow through a custom resource management tool integrated with existing CRM systems: automated eligibility checks, KPI dashboards for real-time tracking, and mobile-friendly interfaces for on-duty officers. The result: 20% improved operational efficiency and a 15% reduction in project delays.
