De l'application pionnière à l'infrastructure d'État, mon engagement a toujours été de mettre la technologie au service de l'urgence climatique. Cette aventure dans la GreenTech a débuté en 2016 avec "SOS Mon climat", une application de sensibilisation élue parmi les 100 meilleures innovations mondiales et présentée à la semaine de la francophonie et m'a value une invitation au COP22.
Aujourd'hui, fort de cette conviction que la technologie est l'arme ultime contre le dérèglement climatique, je porte le projet ZAMBA. Convaincu que la souveraineté numérique est le nouveau pilier de l'indépendance des États, je consacre mon expertise à la création d'infrastructures de données critiques pour la préservation du Bassin du Congo.
Mon approche consiste à faire converger l'innovation technologique (Jumeaux Numériques, IoT, IA, Satellite) et les enjeux géopolitiques complexes de l'Afrique Centrale. À travers ZAMBA, je transforme des flux de données brutes en outils de gouvernance transparents et certifiés. Mon ambition est de bâtir un modèle où la maîtrise souveraine de la donnée permet de passer d'une écologie de constat à une écologie d'action, devenant ainsi le moteur de la finance verte et de la protection de la biodiversité.

I'm a passionate youth leader, sustainability advocate, public speaker, and founder of Ndiyaconsults. My mission is to empower young people to lead with purpose, create sustainable solutions, and become active changemakers in their communities.

My leadership journey began in primary school and continued throughout high school, where I had the privilege of serving in various leadership positions, including becoming the first female School President in my school's history. These experiences shaped my belief that leadership is not about titles but about service, impact, and inspiring others to reach their potential.

I am currently a student at the Catholic University of Eastern Africa and actively involved in leadership, advocacy, and community development initiatives. Through my work with Amnesty International and other youth-focused programs, I advocate for human rights, civic engagement, and meaningful youth participation in decision-making processes.

I founded Ndiyaconsults to create opportunities for learning, mentorship, and leadership development. Through initiatives such as the Sustainable Leadership Training Program and the Leading Tomorrow Project, I work with young people to develop practical leadership skills, promote sustainability, and drive positive social change.

I believe that when young people are equipped with the right knowledge, values, and opportunities, they can transform their communities and shape a more sustainable and inclusive future for all.

My name is Ifeoluwa, and I’m passionate about building scalable AI solutions. I have over four years of experience in data science and analytics, with proven expertise across finance, fintech, voice tech, and education.

One of my favourite mantras is, "I build production-ready AI models", and that's because I get that itch when I see models sitting pretty in a repository; I always take the extra step to put them on the web. I am a proactive individual, and that much is evident in my commitment to continuous learning, and my strong work ethic.

Some might think of me as a Jack-of-all-trades, but I believe it's all a matter of perspective. I bring a creative flair to every project that I work on. I also write blogs (https://medium.com/@ifeoluwaoduwaiye), articles, research papers, and whitepapers, including this very bio that you're reading. If that didn't do me justice, shoot me an email, let’s have a chat.
