Hi, I'm Ojonugwa Wada
I am an innovation and data science specialist currently completing my MSc in Data Science at the University of Roehampton, London. Growing up on a small farm in rural Nigeria, I witnessed firsthand how flooding, financial exclusion, and limited infrastructure can hold communities back. Those experiences shaped my commitment to developing practical, data-driven solutions at the intersection of artificial intelligence, financial inclusion, and agroecological systems.
My work spans cross-sector initiatives integrating fintech and agritech, designing decision intelligence systems, and contributing to sustainable development projects across Africa. I founded Living Festival Storyworld, an AI-enabled cultural platform that explores African and diaspora narratives. I also lead research collaborations, including a formal partnership with CEPODRA Civil Association in Peru, where we co-develop data systems that strengthen local farming and disaster resilience.
Whether building machine learning models, analytics dashboards, or predictive frameworks, my approach prioritises human dignity, community resilience, and long-term social impact. For me, technology must serve people first.
