Building the infrastructure

million developers.

About
Program manager.

Builder.
I'm a Program Manager where I support developer programs that collectively reach over 200,000 developers every year.
My background is in Systems Engineering (University of Lagos) and I hold an MBA from Quantic School of Business and Technology. I spend most of my time at the intersection of people, programs, and products.
Beyond my day job, I co-founded API Conference Lagos, run Finance Roundtable, program manage events for Web3 Afrika, and launched Morning Scroll.
