About
Guided by a deep curiosity for intelligence and automation, I’ve spent my career building systems that bridge human potential and machine precision. I engineered groundbreaking fintech platforms such as Adam, the AI accounting assistant at Tyms, and AjoMoney, an alternative finance solution empowering small businesses. From architecting large-scale infrastructure to designing contextual AI models, my work has consistently aimed to make technology smarter, faster, and more human. I’m deeply passionate about Africa’s growing AI ecosystem — mentoring engineers, collaborating with innovators, and exploring how intelligent systems can redefine work, finance, and everyday life. My focus is simple: to build technology that not only works, but thinks — creating tools that help people and businesses operate at their highest potential. When I’m not designing AI agents or leading research, you’ll probably find me sketching new product ideas, mentoring upcoming engineers, or studying how intelligence emerges in both humans and machines.
