PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY
Dedicated technologist and educator with a passion for integrating technology into education. Over three years of experience teaching coding and robotics, with a proven track record of fostering innovation and creativity in young learners. Proficient in programming, IoT, and automation, with a strong commitment to empowering students and educators through technological solutions. I led a student robotics team to win 1st place at the Battle of the Bots 2025 Robotics competition in Lagos. I am that guy that creates indigenous technology and infuse the same into an idea or a concept. For instance, lead up to an inter-house sports event held in February 2025 at Dawn Michaels School, the Head of School asked whether it would be possible for parents to view live scores on their phones instead of relying on a central scoreboard that was difficult to see at on the field. Within weeks, I turned this idea into a working solution. I developed a real-time leaderboard that updated automatically as sporting events progressed. This is just a few of many.
