I build machine learning systems that work in production and explain their own decisions -- a combination that most data scientists cannot offer and that regulated industries legally require.
Two recent examples of what this looks like in practice:
CreditIQ -- a loan default prediction system built on 150,000 real borrower records using XGBoost and SHAP explainability. The system achieved AUC-ROC of 0.844 and includes business cost threshold optimisation -- finding the exact decision point that minimises total dollar loss for the lender rather than just maximising statistical metrics. Live and accessible right now.
MacroSense -- a US economic forecasting system that predicts GDP growth, inflation, and unemployment 6 months ahead using Federal Reserve data. Walk-forward validation across 25 years of economic history confirmed 88.9% directional accuracy for GDP forecasting. Also live and
accessible.
Both systems are deployed as interactive dashboards that non-technical stakeholders can use without any data science knowledge. Both include full SHAP explainability documentation. Both have clean reproducible codebases on GitHub.
---
WHAT SEPARATES MY WORK FROM GENERIC ML FREELANCERS:
Most freelancers deliver a Jupyter notebook with good accuracy metrics and call it done. I deliver
systems -- with deployment, documentation, interpretability, and honest evaluation on data the model has never seen.
I also have something most ML engineers do not -- an economics degree and published research in
macroeconomic modelling. This means when I build a credit risk model or a financial forecasting
system I understand the domain behind the data not just the algorithms processing it. That understanding prevents the kind of technically correct but economically nonsensical predictions
that make clients distrust their own models.
---
WHAT I BUILD:
Predictive ML Systems
Credit risk scoring, loan default prediction, churn prediction, revenue forecasting -- classification and regression problems on structured financial and economic data using Python, XGBoost, scikit-learn, and Random Forest.
Time Series Forecasting
Economic indicator forecasting, demand forecasting, financial time series analysis using ARIMA, GARCH, XGBoost, and ensemble methods. Validated using walk-forward methodology -- the honest standard for time series evaluation.
Explainable AI Systems
SHAP-powered model interpretation for regulated industries where "the algorithm said so" is not
an acceptable answer. Every prediction comes with an auditable explanation showing exactly which
factors drove the decision.
Econometric Modelling
OLS regression, ARDL, cointegration analysis, ADF stationarity testing, and econometric specification for research and policy analysis. Published researcher with two papers submitted
to peer-reviewed journals.
End-to-End Deployment
Streamlit interactive dashboards, FastAPI prediction endpoints, GitHub repositories with professional documentation. I deliver something clients can actually use -- not something that
only works on my laptop.
WHO I WORK BEST WITH:
Fintech companies and lending institutions that need credit risk or fraud detection models with regulatory-grade explainability.
Banks and financial services firms needing economic forecasting or market risk models.
Research institutions and consultancies needing rigorous quantitative analysis combining econometric and ML approaches.
Startups that need production-quality ML systems built properly the first time rather than rebuilt six months later.
---
WHO I DO NOT WORK WITH:
Clients who need work done in 24 hours regardless of quality. Good ML systems require proper validation.
Clients who want me to fabricate or misrepresent model performance. I document limitations as thoroughly as I document results.
---
If your project involves structured data, financial or economic modelling, or requires a system that can explain its own predictions to regulators and stakeholders -- let us talk.
I respond to all messages within 24 hours and provide a free 15-minute consultation call for any project above $1000.

Hi, I'm Wale, a Mobile App Development Expert. I build cross-platform mobile apps using FlutterFlow, Flutter, and React native, with Firebase, Supabase or custom backends. I deliver clean, fast, and launch-ready MVPs, AI-powered apps, SaaS products, subscription platforms, and full-scale applications that run natively on iOS and Android platforms.
I work directly with startup founders, non-technical entrepreneurs, and product teams that are ready to build applications that users would actually use. I've built and delivered apps across food delivery, music streaming, multiplayer gaming, sports, social platforms, AI tooling, and SaaS products; handling everything from UI through backend architecture to App Store and Google Play submission.
MY DEVELOPMENT METHODOLOGY
🚀 Scope Before Build — Every engagement starts with a precise scope agreement. Before anything is built, I sit with you and use my experience across dozens of shipped apps to help you see your own idea more clearly. By the time we finish this conversation, you will understand your own project better than you did when we started, and we will both know exactly what is being built.
🚀 Core-First Delivery — I build the feature that proves your concept works before anything else. The version that validates your idea ships first. Everything else builds on top of a working foundation.
🚀 Real-Device Testing — Every app is tested on actual iOS and Android hardware before delivery. Not simulators. Not assumptions.
🚀 Clean Handover — You receive a fully organized FlutterFlow project, backend access, and documentation, all connected to your accounts. Complete ownership with nothing held back.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Have you actually deployed apps to the Apple App Store and Google Play Store?
Yes. I have taken apps through the full submission pipeline on both platforms. From provisioning profiles, bundle IDs, and App Store Connect configuration on the iOS side, to Google Play Console setup, signed APK generation, and internal testing tracks on Android.
Q: How long does a FlutterFlow mobile app project typically take from start to delivery?
A focused MVP with 4 to 6 screens, authentication, and a live Firebase or Supabase backend typically takes 1 to 2 weeks. Apps with AI integrations, payment flows, real-time multiplayer, or complex backend logic take 3 to 6 weeks depending on scope. I give you a precise timeline during our scoping conversation.
Q: Will I fully own the app and backend after the project is complete?
Yes, you own every source code, flutterflow project, Firebase or Supabase backend, all API connections, and every asset delivered are linked to your accounts, not mine. You own everything completely from day one. I do not retain access, hold dependencies, or lock you into any ongoing arrangement unless you specifically want one.
Q: Can you integrate AI features like ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini into a FlutterFlow app?
Yes. AI integration is one of the fastest-growing areas of my work. I connect FlutterFlow apps to OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, Google Vision for OCR, Google Cloud TTS for voice output, and ElevenLabs for voice cloning. Chatbots, document processing, speech-to-text, AI-generated content, and intelligent recommendation systems are all within scope.
Q: I have an existing FlutterFlow project that is broken or incomplete, can you fix it?
Project rescues are a regular and significant part of my work. Send me access to the FlutterFlow project and describe what is broken, missing, or stuck. I will review the codebase, diagnose the root cause, and give you an honest written assessment of what it will take to complete or repair it before any commitment is made.
