I am a serial volunteer, I volunteered with voluntary service oversea as an in-country volunteer where i worked with 10 UK volunteers and 10 international citizen volunteers on an inclusive education project in Enugu state with the mission of leaving no child behind, to help identify out of school children and children with diverse abilities also create a support system to help teachers and students improve performance in classroom.
I am a self-taught software developer with over 4 years of experience in software development with a background in web development and technology in helping develop web solutions for organizations.

Also served as a facilitator and mentor for techQuest in training over 5000 kids across 7 states in Nigeria on STEM education and a mentor for Africode.
I currently serve as the CEO of workload NG, a company I co-founded to help solve the unemployment issue in Nigeria by encouraging entrepreneurship and skill through training and capacity development, also connecting local and skilled artisans to customers/companies that need their services.
On starting workload NG with the aim of becoming a major contributor towards achieving some of the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals, the project was selected for the sustainable solution Africa 30 under 30, was among the 15 finalists for the Total Startupper Challenge 2019. Currently the workload project was selected for the Tony Elumelu Fellowship Grant 2019.
