First Class HonoursB.Sc. Biochemistry · Lagos State University (LASU) · 2025
I studied life at the molecular level, then wrote software to analyse it. Now I do both at once — with Python, R, and a biochemistry degree.

Background
01
01
First Class in Biochemistry.
Four years studying at Lagos State University — molecular genetics, enzyme kinetics, analytical chemistry, cell biology. The science was rigorous and occasionally humbling. Graduated top of my cohort in 2025.

Also shipping production software the whole time.
Not side projects — deployed applications with real users and real transactions. Payment backends, real-time chat, escrow marketplaces. I wrote code the same semesters I sat biochemistry finals. The two tracks ran in parallel, completely independently.

Bioinformatics is where they converge.
I use Python and R to work with biological data — sequences, structures, expression profiles. I write pipelines the way I write APIs: for correctness, reproducibility, and maintainability. The biology tells me what questions to ask. The code answers them.

collaboration
I am actively looking for graduate research opportunities in bioinformatics, computational biology, or related fields — MSc or PhD programmes at institutions in Europe or North America.
I am also open to research collaborations, academic mentorship, and conversations with people working at the intersection of biology and computation. If you are doing interesting work in this space, reach out.
