The half a résumé
can’t hold.

The guitar is the thing I pick up when I need my hands busy and my head quiet. It came before most of the code did, and it has outlasted a few things I thought I was more serious about.

• Plays and sings
• Choir performances behind me
• Still going

I sang in choir, and I still sing. People assume the reserved part of me means I would not get up in front of a room. I have been getting up in front of rooms for years.

• Choir
• Not shy about it

Basketball is the one that survives every busy season. School, competitions, university, whatever else is on fire — I still end up on a court. It is the closest thing I have to a reset button.

• Played through school
• Still playing at FUTO

I ran athletics all the way through Federal Government College, Ikom, and played football whenever it happened. Competing early taught me the thing I keep repeating: showing up prepared beats showing up gifted.

• Athletics
• Inter-house and inter-school
• Football when it happens

Bodies are machines too. I train, I run, and I like that progress there is impossible to fake — you either did the reps or you did not. It is the same feedback loop as building, just slower and more honest.

• Bodyweight training
• Running
• Ongoing

Marvel, DC, Disney XD, Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, KidsCo. They genuinely made me want to do good and become better, and I still apply things I learned from them. I do not know who I would be without this. It is part of the Source, and I will happily argue about it.

• Marvel & DC
• Anime
• Comics
• Good TV in general

I have covered roughly sixty percent of the country, plus a decent amount outside it. I photographed almost none of it, which I regret more the longer I think about it. That is the one gap on this whole site I cannot go back and fill.

• ~60% of Nigeria
• International travel
• Barely any photos

Premiere for the cut, DaVinci for the colour, After Effects when it needs to move, CapCut when it needs to be fast. I lost all my old professional work, so the reel is being rebuilt from zero. Winning the Going for Gold content challenge in 2026 was the proof the skill did not go anywhere.

• Premiere Pro
• DaVinci Resolve
• After Effects
• CapCut
• Vlogs, cinematic, promos

I write, and the research work has actually started — I am with FUTO-RISERS in the Sustainable Energy and Green Technologies cluster. Nothing published yet, which is why this is listed as something underway rather than something I have done.

• FUTO-RISERS
• Sustainable energy & green tech
• Nothing published yet

Calabar Tech Conference, JCI presentations, endless data science presentations at Aptech, and pitching AURA at Hack4FUTO. Explaining a thing well turns out to be a separate skill from building it, and I have had to learn both.

• Calabar Tech Conference
• Hack4FUTO
• JCI
• Aptech

Privately. I was very clear about the privately.

• Not in public
• Do not ask

I drew a lot when I was younger. It faded when everything else picked up, but the eye it trained is still doing work every time I open an edit or lay out an interface.

• Used to
• Might again
