About Me

Example

I'm a backend engineer and software developer currently studying Computer Science Education at the University of Ilorin, Nigeria. Passionate about building systems that scale and products that matter.

I'm the solo founder of AyeoLab โ€” a social workspace platform built for Nigerian university students, with a vision to expand across Africa. I also take freelance backend contracts via Fiverr and Upwork.

When I'm not shipping code, I write music under the artist name Adisa, explore Yoruba cultural identity, and think about how technology can serve underrepresented communities.
