Hey 👋, I'm Arinze. I'm a Software Engineer with a growing passion for Machine Learning and Research. I love building efficient, scalable systems, but even more, I enjoy pushing the boundaries of what's possible through computation.

Right now, I get to do both. At BDS group, I’m a Research Intern working on evolutionary computing, specifically Grammatical Evolution, to design quantum circuits. One of my breakthroughs? Evolving a circuit for Grover’s algorithm (3 qubits) that outperformed the world standard. I’m now applying the same technique to other quantum algorithms.

On the engineering side, I lead project development for TheSafetyChic, building a child safety mobile app in Flutter. It’s a project that matters, and it’s fulfilling to guide it from idea to impact.

I'm also someone who loves the intense creativity of hackathons. A highlight was leading the backend development for our "Star Student" project at Google BGN Ireland, which landed us 2nd place by empowering teachers with custom safety stories. Another proud moment was winning the ACI Worldwide Hackathon, where I focused on designing robust systems for finance challenges like currency transactions and fraud detection. It really tests your problem-solving skills under deadlines.

I believe in sharing the journey, too. On my blog, you'll find me trying to break down complex technical concepts (including some of that ML and Quantum Computing stuff!) using analogies into understandable formats. I sometimes just write random thoughts or life stuff that pops into my head.

I'm particularly interested in building solutions that genuinely improve lives, particularly in child safety and education.

And when I'm not immersed in tech? You might catch me playing video games, or, just as importantly, spending time mentoring aspiring developers and contributing where I can to help others grow.
