I'm an epidemiology MPH candidate who builds machine learning tools for public health and search data.

Currently an AI Fluency & Search Intelligence Intern at FlyRank AI.

About

I'm completing a Master of Public Health at Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, after a B.Sc. in Anatomy and a data science and machine learning program at ALX.

At FlyRank AI I build Python tools that enforce data contracts, block target leakage, and rank which content to refresh. Outside work I build and evaluate risk prediction models on public health data. This site collects that work, with new writing and projects added as I finish them.

Work

Organic content refresh triager

FlyRank AI. Python, Pandas, command line.

Traffic drops are often seasonal or low-value, so I looked for Page-1 pages with large impression volumes but far fewer clicks than their position should earn. The agent quarantines leakage fields before scoring, fills missing zero ranks with cohort medians, and writes a markdown audit receipt on every run.

It cut 30,000 URLs to 2,070 high-priority candidates. The top page sat at position 2.5 with 509,252 impressions in 90 days and a 0.15% click-through rate against a 2.71% benchmark, roughly 13,000 recoverable clicks.

Diabetes risk prediction

Python, scikit-learn, LightGBM, XGBoost.

An end-to-end pipeline on the CDC BRFSS 2015 Diabetes Health Indicators dataset (253,680 respondents). It compares five models under four class-imbalance strategies, ranks features, and audits sex and age-group subgroups for fairness. Scaling and resampling are fit on training data only, to prevent leakage.

Class-weighted LightGBM reached ROC-AUC 0.827 and caught 79% of diabetic cases on 50,736 held-out respondents. Without rebalancing, models scored a similar AUC but caught only 13 to 15% of cases.

Experience

Aug 2026 to present

AI Fluency & Search Intelligence Intern

FlyRank AI

Built a Python command-line pipeline that enforces data contracts, blocks target leakage, and writes an audit receipt for every run. Prototyped an autonomous diagnostic agent on top of it, with zero autonomous writes by design. Completed 20 Anthropic Claude courses and applied them while building agent prototypes.
