An engineer, quietly
building in public.

I started building with microcontrollers in 2021. Since then, I've won three hackathons, earned Top Honors in the National Geographic Society Slingshot Challenge out of 2,700+ entries across 96 countries, spoken at TEDx twice, and built Reforest AI; a Climate Tech startup protecting forest-backed carbon assets.

I grew up in Nigeria. The gap between what infrastructure could do and what it actually did, the lights, the meters, the signal, pushed me toward hardware early. I learned to solder before I learned most frameworks, and I still think of software the way I think of firmware: as a thing that has to survive its deployment environment.

My work sits at the intersection of low-level engineering and product thinking. I care about what the system does in the field, not what it demos on a table. That's the throughline, whether I'm laying out a board, shipping a React app, or designing a monitoring pipeline for forests half a continent away.

Outside the work: I read, I write slowly, I spend time in forested places when I can. I believe good engineering is a form of restraint.
