About
Hi, I'm Charis Adu, a Software Engineer and Data Scientist based in Lagos, Nigeria. I’ve spent the past three years honing my skills in data analytics, machine learning, and web development.
Software Engineer & Data Scientist.
"The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it."
Now, I know what you’re thinking: "Pick one and stick with it," or "You can either be a Software Engineer or a Data Scientist, not both." While some do both and are even called AI Engineers, I prefer to hold off on that title until I've put in the years of effort and learning it demands. My journey has been fueled by a deep love for learning and technology. I’ve had the privilege of collaborating on projects ranging from public health research initiatives to e-commerce websites, each experience sharpening my ability to solve problems and push creative boundaries. When I'm not in front of my computer, you'll likely find me in church, reading a manhwa or a novel, or watching anime I’m excited to share my work with you and welcome opportunities for collaboration. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to connect or learn more about my projects!
