Lagos, Nigeria

I build infrastructure people can trust. For data teams, and for African storytellers.

Senior Analytics Engineer at Data Culture, where I design data and AI solutions. Founder of ToriBOX, Africa's first vertical micro-drama streaming app. I speak about both.

Data & AI

From a data team of one to governed AI analytics.

I started as a data analyst and have worked in startups and large organisations. Today I help teams model their data, move it closer to the people who use it, and give AI analytics agents context they can be trusted with.

I work mostly in dbt, Snowflake, BigQuery, Azure and Looker.

Early-stage startup

First data hire

Founder

Big stories. Small episodes. Endless drama.

ToriBOX is Africa's first vertical micro-drama streaming app, built for Nollywood and the African diaspora. Short episodic drama in a feed made for the phone.

The app is the first layer. The goal is infrastructure that is valuable to African creatives: the same thinking I bring to data platforms, pointed at storytelling.
