Some Projects
GPTree Invention

GPTree is a general-purpose artificial intelligence algorithm designed to enhance decision-making through explainable, human-in-the-loop collaboration, eliminating the need for extensive feature engineering. When applied to venture capital (VC) investment analysis, GPTree significantly outperformed random selection by approximately 10x and expert benchmarks by about 3x. Fine-tuned for identifying outlier startups, it achieved an 18% success rate, underscoring its potential to transform early-stage investment strategies and drive superior fund performance.

Data Transmission in Networks

Developed a Streamlit-based software tool to analyze and visualize data transmission in network environments, supporting PhD-level research. The application models the flow of information between network nodes and examines the factors influencing transmission efficiency, providing actionable insights for optimizing network performance.

View Project
Drillbotics Research Competition

As a key member of the UMaT team—Africa’s only representative in the 2023 Drillbotics international competition—I led the development of a Python package for simulating directional drilling. Our team also engineered an intuitive interface for real-time process monitoring, contributing to the team’s recognition at a global level.

View Project
Customer Churn Prediction

Designed and implemented a customer churn prediction system utilizing IBM’s telco customer dataset. Leveraged machine learning models including logistic regression, random forest, SVM, KNN, Naive Bayes, and XGBoost. Deployed the top three models via Streamlit, enabling users to prioritize recall, precision, or a balanced approach within the interactive application.

View Project
Advanced ML Pipeline for Network Intrusion Detection

Developed a robust machine learning pipeline for detecting network intrusions. Utilized Random Forest for feature extraction and PCA for dimensionality reduction, and implemented an optimized SVM classifier. Integrated the workflow using scikit-learn’s Pipeline object, with comprehensive performance evaluation using metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, F1 score, ROC curve, and AUC-ROC. Enabled probability estimation and analyzed the impact of decision thresholds on detection performance.

OSAD API (Object, Speech and Audio Detection)

Engineered a test-driven, production-ready API for object detection in images and speech-to-text/text-to-speech conversion. The API features secure user authentication, session management, and password reset via email. Built with Flask, it employs TorchVision’s Faster R-CNN model for object detection, and integrates SpeechRecognition and pyttsx for audio processing.

View Project
Uni Hostels App

I develped a web app for easy management and finding of hostels in Universities. This was full scale but just for fun.

View Project
AcademicRecords

I developed a console based cpp + python program for efficient and easy management of academic records at the university level.

View Project
EASEchaos

Together with other students, we built an app that extracts the timetable for any class from a general timetable that is always released by our university.

View Project
Electronics

For electronics, I've built countless projects including Fingerprint + keycard attendance system, automous vehicles, different types of smart entropy minimizers, etc.

I highly recommend Aaron Ontoyin. I had the pleasure of working with him on two significant projects: the drilling simulator automatic software for SPE and an opportunistic routing network project. Aaron's exceptional willingness to learn, adapt, and think critically in conjunction with programming played a pivotal role in the success of both endeavors. His dedication, problem-solving skills, and collaborative spirit make him an invaluable asset to any team. Aaron's commitment to excellence is truly commendable, and I have no doubt he will continue to excel in his future endeavors.
