About

Building at the intersection of humans, AI, and software

I'm a software engineer with a deep focus on mobile application development, backend systems, open-source software, and applied machine learning. I approach engineering as both a craft and a tool for social impact — every system I build is designed with real people in mind.

Over 4+ years, I've shipped production mobile apps used by thousands, contributed to open-source dev tooling at the Wikimedia Foundation & MLH Fellowship, and contributed to AI by aiding the global NLP ecosystem by building a benchmark dataset for Yorùbá and predictive analytics. I hold a First Class degree in Computer Science from the University of Ibadan.

Outside of engineering, I care about technology's role in creating decent work and economic growth for young Africans, and I'm always looking for problems at the frontier worth solving.
