TOSIN SONUBI IS A DATA ENGINEER.
Oluwatosin (Tosin) Sonubi studied BEng in Manufacturing and Mechanical Engineering at Warwick University.

She has only been a Data Engineer since 2021 but she has achieved an outstanding amount in that time.

Tosin also has experience as a DEI consultant and science communicator/speaker, she leverages all of these facets of herself in her data career.
Tosin is passionate about ‘paying it forwards’, and therefore engages in various outreach/ volunteering initiatives. She is active within groups supporting underrepresented individuals and the future of tech. With a technical background in data governance and ethics, Tosin advocates for the fair use of data and engineering for good.
