Hi, I'm
Daniel Ogbuigwe
ML Software Engineer
Building intelligent systems at the intersection of machine learning and software engineering.
About Me
I'm a Software Engineer and a Research Scientist at Prairie View A&M University, where I develop computer vision systems for agricultural AI applications. My work spans from training YOLO models for behavioral monitoring to building speech recognition systems for low-resource African languages. I'm passionate about applying machine learning to solve real-world problems and making AI more accessible.
