AboutFrom mechanical engineering to AI systems

I graduated from the University of Lagos in 2025 with a degree in Mechanical Engineering — a rigorous training in systems thinking that I now apply to software. Somewhere between thermodynamics and final-year projects, I taught myself to code, and I haven’t stopped since.

Today I build production-grade AI systems: voice agents, serverless media pipelines, and self-improving agent engines — with a focus on local-first, sovereign tooling that creators and businesses can truly own. I care about infrastructure that is fast, reliable, and built to last, not just demos that look good in a screenshot.
