My story

From a Lagos cyber café to intelligent products

  1. 01 · Childhood · Lagos

    The cyber café kid

    Born and raised in Lagos, with roots in Delta State. Between the ages of 8 and 12, my mum paid an older boy to take me to a cyber café to learn computers. He mostly chatted while I watched, and sometimes we spent the change at the game house playing football. Soon I was going on my own, searching the internet for anything I could find.

    That curiosity never left.

    Maths, by way of a detour

    I wanted to study Computer Science. When that didn't work out, I chose Mathematics, a subject I had grown to love after secondary school, and studied Mathematics Education at UNILAG.

    The moment it clicked

    People around me kept talking about WordPress. Then I discovered programming and realised I could build real software with code, something I had wanted to do for years. I started that year and never looked back.

    Where AI met the classroom

    My final-year research explored how AI can help secondary school students understand mathematics. It is where my interest in AI, people and learning first came together.

    From intern to frontend lead

    I joined Scrybe as an intern and grew into the main frontend developer behind the administrative side of its school management platform. Being chosen to lead the frontend team, ahead of people who were already there when I arrived, showed me how far I had come.

    Trust earned, responsibility taken.

    Building intelligent products

    I want to go beyond using AI tools to building them into software that solves real problems. The goal: a senior AI full-stack engineer, and one day, my own technology business.

    Open to full-time roles and client projects in frontend, full-stack and AI engineering.

Fun fact

I am an Arsenal Fan

Being an Arsenal fan is like mastering the art of patience, it’s built into the job description! Waiting for trophies, enduring rebuilds, and surviving last-minute heartbreaks have taught me to stay calm under pressure. It’s also made me a great team player because supporting Arsenal means believing in the process, celebrating every small win, and sticking together no matter what. If I can trust the team through thick and thin, you can trust me to do the same in any situation!
