Hey there 👋🏾
I’m Folajimi Freddie Odukomaiya.
This is my personal website where I've gathered my projects, ideas, career history and more!
🧬 Who am I?
I’m an AI Product Manager and Data Scientist who has spent the last 5+ years designing, building and deploying both Data and AI driven products that have led to over £2million in revenue and cost savings for several organisations.
I’ve done this whilst working across different industries in Financial Technology, Logistics and Aviation.
My penchant for creative problem solving has stoked my entrepreneurial drive, leading me to launch a few revenue generating side projects outside my 9-5.
I’m originally from Nigeria 🇳🇬 but I’m based in London, UK 🇬🇧 . I hold a Masters of Engineering degree in Aeronautical Engineering from City, University of London and consider myself a passionate advocate for STEM and Financial literacy education.
Don’t be afraid to say hi on twitter @folajimi_oduko.
🦸🏾♂️ My Superpowers
Ability to learn quickly
I believe this is perhaps my best superpower. I’m confident in my ability to get up to speed quickly and learn enough to be dangerous in almost any domain.
I’ve developed a systematic way of learning any topic I’m interested in and so far this system hasn’t failed me.
My habit of reading widely and my other two superpowers are the reason why I think my ability in this domain is above average.
Systems Thinking
This is a superpower that I think enables me to learn quickly.
I fundamentally believe taking a systematic approach leads to better outcomes because you’re focused on the setting/learning foundations and creating feedback loops which should lead to progress.
Growth Mindset
I developed this superpower based on my fondness and training in STEM from a young age.
This is because STEM teaches you that the Universe has all the answers, and most of the work is in figuring out the right questions to ask. This translates practically to understanding that with enough effort you will find a solution to any problem.

Testimonials
Intelligent and Inquisitive
I hired Freddie during the build out of our analytics team and I could not have been happier with that decision. I immediately recognised his energy when upon being told we were hiring him, he asked about what studying he should do in the two weeks before his start date. Not only does he have a drive and passion for learning around Analytics, Data Science and Machine Learning but his intelligence and inquisitiveness mean he is a real asset in translating business requirements into the design and execution of analytics projects. Freddie works carefully to fully understand the stakeholders' needs, provides thoughtful and innovative suggestions and ultimately ensures that the stakeholder requirements are met.

Self-motivated and Upbeat Attitude
I was constantly impressed with Freddie's great work throughout his employment at Equinix. His hard work and dedication to projects such as Workload Optimization and building of dashboards assisted Equinix in driving key business decisions. Freddie has an amazing upbeat attitude and is self motivated. He believes in giving 110% in his work and relationships with his colleagues.
