Hi, I'm Ashinze Emmanuel |

I'm an AI/ML & Automation Engineer and Researcher with a Chemical/Process Engineering background, specializing in intelligent systems, agentic workflows, and applied machine learning. I design LLM-powered pipelines, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems, and AI-driven automations across fintech, renewable energy, insurtech, FMCG, R&D, power, and Oil & Gas. I've shipped impactful solutions for CatalyzU (TechStars '23), BlackCod Group (Bluebulb), Curacel (YC '22), TotalEnergies, Transcorp Power, Nestlé, and NitHub (UNILAG Innovation Hub).

Proficient in Python, JavaScript, SQL, TensorFlow, PyTorch, LangChain, LlamaIndex, Hugging Face, n8n, Make, Zapier, and Power Automate, I build fine-tuned LLMs, MCP and tool-calling pipelines, and end-to-end automations on AWS and GCP. I'm passionate about building reliable, trustworthy, multimodal, and scalable AI systems, and I'm always open to collaborating on projects that push the boundaries of intelligent automation and digital transformation.

About Me

AI/ML & Automation Engineer and Researcher - building intelligent systems where AI, engineering, and impact meet.

I'm an AI/ML & Automation Engineer and Researcher who designs and ships LLM-powered pipelines, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems, agentic workflows, and end-to-end automations. My foundation is unusual and deliberate: a degree in Chemical & Process Engineering from the University of Lagos paired with a degree in Applied Artificial Intelligence from IU, Germany - so I understand both the physical processes that power industry and the intelligent systems that optimize them. That work has been backed by four national scholarships and recognition as a Millennium Fellow, Developer's Foundry Fellow (AI/ML), and Student Energy Fellow.

My work spans the full machine-learning lifecycle - AI engineering, ML engineering, MLOps, data science, and automation. I fine-tune and evaluate LLMs (Qwen3, Llama 3.1) with QLoRA/Unsloth, build RAG and MCP tool-calling pipelines with vector search and guardrails, train computer-vision models for real-world safety and detection, and architect n8n and Python automations on AWS and GCP with CI/CD. I've open-sourced 13+ models and datasets on Hugging Face (with 25K+ dataset downloads) and shipped live products on Modal, Streamlit, and HF Spaces.

I've delivered impact across fintech, renewable energy, insurtech, FMCG, power, and Oil & Gas - designing agentic AI workflows at CatalyzU (TechStars '23), automating operations across subsidiaries at BlackCod Group (Bluebulb), building LLM automations at Curacel (YC '22), driving digital transformation at TotalEnergies, and researching applied AI at NitHub (UNILAG Innovation Hub), with earlier process-engineering roles at Transcorp Power and Nestlé. The constant: I use AI, automation, and engineering to turn manual, inefficient operations into reliable, measurable systems.

But technology is only a tool; my real passion lies in multiplying its impact through people. Leadership, for me, is a platform for service and building communities. This conviction has driven me to take on roles such as President of the UNILAG Energy Club, where I led a team to achieve over 600% growth; VP of the Nigerian Society of Chemical Engineers (UNILAG), where I supported over 300 students; and Sponsorship Lead for GDSC UNILAG, securing over ₦5M for student tech projects. Through Project KUJUA, an initiative I founded, we have provided career mentorship to over 10,000 students in rural communities. My commitment to leadership and innovation has been recognized through global programs like the Millennium Fellowship, Student Energy, and the Developer's Foundry Fellowship (AI/ML).

Looking ahead, my vision is to become a business and global leader dedicated to building AI-powered solutions that accelerate the energy transition and support the growth of climate-tech. I want to be at the forefront of creating a more sustainable and equitable future.

I am always eager to connect with fellow innovators, founders, and leaders in the AI, energy, and climate-tech spaces. If you are passionate about building solutions that matter and are looking to collaborate on transformative projects, please feel free to reach out.

"Remember, one can chase a thousand, but with AI, one can chase a million."

AI/ML Research & Papers

NaijaReviewer-8B: User Modelling for Review Simulation Task A

Domain-specific Nigerian-context LLM (Llama 3.1 8B, QLoRA) for review simulation. Achieved RMSE 1.114 (vs 1.319 for Claude Sonnet 4) and a 48.5% blind Nigerian-rater win-rate, reaching statistical parity with frontier models at 4× smaller size. Submitted to the DSN × BCT LLM Agent Challenge. Read the paper

NaijaReviewer-8B: Persona-Aware Recommendation Task B

Persona-aware product recommendation tuned to Nigerian shopping behaviour, achieving NDCG@10 0.588, the best of 5 models evaluated. Built on 24 culturally-grounded personas across Yoruba, Hausa, Igbo, and Pidgin. Read the paper

NPA-Corpus-v1 Open Dataset

Released the persona-conditioned Nigerian review training corpus behind NaijaReviewer-8B, blending real Jumia data with stratified synthetic expansion across register tiers. View on Hugging Face
