Oyekemi Abioye: Data Science | Data & AI Governance | Bridging Advanced Analytics with Responsible AI

I operationalize Responsible AI, translate regulatory requirements (e.g., GDPR) into MLOps automation, and lead the development of enterprise governance infrastructure.

About Me: The Pivot to Trust & Control

I am an impact-oriented professional with 7 years of deep experience building and deploying predictive models across Financial and Insurance Services. My transition into AI Governance was driven by a commitment to ensuring that innovation is always paired with scalability, security, and ethical control.

My strength lies in my dual capability: I don't just understand policy; I understand the coding, pipeline development, and MLOps principles needed to physically enforce governance rules. This allows me to effectively lead cross-functional efforts between legal, risk, and engineering teams to achieve audit readiness.

I believe proactive control, automated through smart platform design, is the only sustainable path for enterprise-wide GenAI adoption. My goal is to transform compliance from a reactive bottleneck into a strategic, automated advantage.

My Core Expertise

Governance & Policy Leadership

Active member of the **AI Governance Committee** and author of internal policies. Focus on regulatory frameworks (e.g., OSFI E-23 analysis) and formal risk triage processes for audit readiness.

MLOps Platform Controls

Technical expertise in implementing automated controls for model lifecycle management. Specialized in **Python, AzureML, Databricks, and CI/CD** to prevent drift and ensure continuous monitoring.

Generative AI & Risk Mitigation

Hands-on experience with **LLMs (Hugging Face Transformers)** and designing ethical guardrails, prompt governance, and deployment constraints for safe, compliant, and responsible GenAI rollout.
