Projects
ScholarTrack — Scholarship Finder
300+ active users within 2 months of launch. 12 users confirmed scholarship applications made through the platform.
Nigerian students spend months manually searching for scholarships across hundreds of websites, missing deadlines due to information fragmentation. Built a web app that aggregates scholarships from 50+ sources, with smart filtering by course, country, and deadline. Users get email alerts for new matches.
View project →Final Year Project — Crop Disease Detector
Achieved 87% classification accuracy on a validation set of 2,000 images. Presented at the University of Lagos Engineering Showcase.
Nigerian smallholder farmers lose up to 40% of yield to crop diseases that could be caught early with expert knowledge they lack. Built a mobile-friendly web app using a fine-tuned CNN model to classify cassava leaf diseases from smartphone photos.
