I weave my diverse experiences from working across Africa to North America into a unique professional story.
My journey is marked by detours, intriguing projects, and a commitment to extracting lessons from every situation.

I share career insights on my Podcast and YouTube as long as it makes people build better products and better careers.
In my downtime, you’ll fine me playing squash, strength-training at the gym or tinkering with a problem that software could solve. I also enjoy, cooking and spirituality.
