Jacobs Oluwakemi

As an educator, I am committed to exposing children and youths, especially those in underdeveloped locations, to data science, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. In doing this, there is a need to expose them to using Python programming for sustainable development goals (SDGs). How children and youths who are beginners in Python programming can demonstrate and use this coding skill and practices in addressing real-world challenges that are aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

ADEOYE OMOBUWA

My name is Adeoye Omobuwa Blessed, and I’m a passionate full-stack Python developer with a background in Health Information Management. I began my programming journey in August 2019, and since then, I’ve dedicated myself to building impactful solutions across healthcare, social networking, and e-commerce. I specialize in using Django to develop clean, efficient, and scalable web applications. One of my proudest projects is a custom-built social media platform developed entirely with Django logic — featuring real-time-style direct messaging, friend requests, hashtag and @mention recognition, and notification systems — all achieved without third-party APIs like Firebase or Pusher. Beyond web development, I also create powerful cross-platform desktop applications using CustomTkinter and KivyMD, which allow me to design modern user interfaces and tools for hospitals, small businesses, and personal productivity. I’m deeply committed to writing accessible code, solving real-world problems, and continuously learning. I also enjoy mentoring others and demonstrating that with open-source tools and a clear vision, it's possible to bring any application idea to life — whether on the web or the desktop. When I’m not building systems, I love exploring data analysis, refining UI/UX flows, and contributing to projects that combine both technical depth and community value.
