Biography
I’m Almona, born and raised in Lagos, Nigeria. I enjoy working on data science and analytical problems, with a particular interest in sports analytics. Track and field and soccer are the sports I know best, and I’m continuing to build my experience in basketball and football analytics. I’m also a lifelong Tottenham Hotspur fan. #COYS.
I’m focused on improving my Python, modeling, and machine learning skills, and keeping up with how the field is evolving.
