Hi, am Samuel Akinseinde, a techy fellow passionate about leveraging technology for health care.
I work as a software engineer with FINT Technology Africa Limited, empowering the financial stability of Nigerians. Plus, I am a research affiliate with Covenant University’s IoT-Enabled Smart and Connected Communities (SmartCU) Research Cluster, with research work on smart tools for maternal and child health care. I have research interests in Smart Tools, Artificial Intelligence, and Human Computer Interaction, targeted towards Health Care. My interest in health technology was sparked during my university years by my social work of 4 years with an NGO, Project One Million Souls (P1M).
