Lota Ibe
Data Scientist, Software Developer and Educator
I work at the intersections of data, technology and education. Over the last two years, I have leveraged data to help organizations optimize their business processes and developed data-driven solutions for social good.
My interests span recommender systems, language processing & big data. I'm interested in leveraging technology, in particular data science, to help people gain greater agency over their circumstances (e.g. improved education, accessible healthcare, financial inclusion).
