About Me

I’m a computer science undergraduate at Northwest University, Kano, and a software engineer. My research is on natural language processing for low-resource African languages. I’m interested in machine translation, multilingual NLP, and the AfricaNLP community.

I recently worked as an undergraduate research fellow at Wale University, where I built a pipeline for finding silent errors in Hausa translation data. The paper is on its way to arXiv. See Publications for details.

Before and alongside research, I build backend systems and developer tools, with a focus on data integrity and clean, efficient code. You can see that work on the Projects page.

If you work on similar problems, I’d like to hear from you: shoaiybsysa@gmail.com. My CV has the full background.
