I'm Chinedu Uzim — an AI Researcher, Data Scientist, and Statistician based in the UK, building intelligent systems that address real-world challenges in food security, healthcare, and sustainability. Currently pursuing a PhD at Leeds Beckett University, my research focuses on causal, predictive, and proactive AI for sustainable agriculture in Sub-Saharan Africa. I'm also a published researcher and the creator of SmartSkan, an AI-powered medical scan recommendation system featured by Skannr.com.
Causal, predictive & proactive AI for sustainable food security — connecting climate variability to policy in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Built Skannr's intelligent symptom-to-scan AI system — hybrid medical rules + Google Gemini AI. Featured in Skannr's press spotlight.
Python, R, SQL, Power BI — from statistical modelling and GIS analysis to machine learning pipelines and interactive dashboards.
Responsive web apps with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Bootstrap, and React/Vite. Deployed on GitHub Pages and Netlify.
An intelligent symptom-to-scan recommendation system combining structured medical rules with Google Gemini AI. Integrated with Skannr's provider network — patients see real scan options with pricing and instant booking.
