Joshua Ogunbo

Software Engineer & Data Scientist

Software engineer with over 8 years of experience building scalable, real-time distributed systems across industries. I’m proficient in modern backend and frontend tools, with a growing focus on integrating AI-driven features using large language models (LLMs). I hold a B.Sc. in Mathematics and a Master’s in Data Science and Analytics from the University of Calgary.

My interests lie at the intersection of system design, automation, and data-driven solutions. I enjoy solving complex problems and leveraging data to drive impactful insights. My goal is to apply my engineering background to build intelligent systems that can learn, adapt, and solve real-world challenges, particularly in areas like public health, social systems, and intelligent automation.
