Mathematician | Mostly living life beyond the equations

🏀Basketball

Basketball action shot

LeBron James is the GOAT and that's not up for debate. Basketball is life and keeps me sane amidst all the chaos. Not NBA level talent, but I think I could help the Hamburg Towers considering how terrible they are (lol joking, not joking)!

🛹Skateboarding

Skateboarding trick

Currently older, wiser, and slightly broken (hahaha) from all the skateboarding injuries, so I mostly just cruise and longboard. In my younger years … the good ol’ days!!! Sigh

Football

Football celebration

¡Hala Madrid! 🤍 Phobia! 💛💙 COYS! ⚪

I love Real Madrid. Did I already mention that I love Real Madrid? Yes, I love Real Madrid. Also love Tottenham Hotspur. Favorite spurs moment was the Jonathan Woodgate 94th-minute goal in the 2008 Carling Cup final win against Chelsea. And yes ... I am happy for Harry Kane!

💻Coding Academy

Coding academy workshop

Founder of AfroCode Academy - empowering Black youth through FREE coding education. Technology should be accessible to everyone, and I'm committed to creating pathways for under-represented communities to enter STEM fields.

⚙️Full Stack Engineer

Full stack development workspace

In some not so distant past life, I worked as a senior software engineer for one of the biggest telecommunications company in the world. Co-founder of Ananse Labs Limited. You can tell from the weird color palettes on this website, I am more a backend guy!

🔬The Math Part

Research at DESY Hamburg

Oh right, I'm also a Postdoc Researcher at DESY Hamburg. Researcher focused on neural operator theory, spectral methods, and sparsity-driven representations. My work blends machine learning with high-performance computing to construct compact, data-driven surrogates and efficient neural approximations of nonlinear maps—out of breath yet?
