Origin Story
"I didn't study computers. I studied how economies work — then I went and built one."

Growing up in Nigeria, I watched technology reshape every industry except the ones that mattered most to ordinary people. Armed with a degree in Economics from the University of Benin, I understood the systems. What I needed was the tools to change them.

I taught myself to code — not in a bootcamp, not with a mentor, but through relentless iteration: building, breaking, rebuilding. Every failed deployment was a lesson. Every live product was proof.

Today, my work spans a nationwide Nigerian marketplace, an AI-powered football companion, and a US property services platform. This isn't a portfolio — it's a record of what happens when you refuse to wait for permission.
