About Me

Software Engineer by day, Blogger, Poet, and Author by night, I spend my days writing everything from the convex comma, to highly complex code. I started creatively writing poetry at the age of 10. Now I creatively write code

Most of my professional career has involved Customising Content Management Systems, but my interests are varied and I am constantly acquiring new ones. Currently, I'm exploring Arbitration, and Digital Marketing.

I'm also working (ever so slowly) on a Novel, and I'm passively investigating Behavioural Psychology and Natural Language Processing, amongst other things.

Personal Site Website

Every year, I try to make it a point to redesign or re-implement my website. It's an opportunity for me to practice new skills and experiment with new technologies. This year, I'm playing with Grav - The Modern Flat-File CMS, and I've gotta tell you:

I'm lovin' it.

project freecodecamp-lagos

FreeCodeCamp Lagos

I decided to join the FreeCodeCamp Lagos community after trying a few exercises on the site. The group has been great. The constant activity on Facebook keeps me motivated even when I can't participate, and the few times that I have participated, have been worthwhile.

project yorudi

Yòrúdì - A Yoruba-English Dictionary Prototype

Yòrúdì is the project I envisioned when I decided to teach myself Scala. In the Languages section here, you will see that I'm a novice at my native tongue. To help myself, I wanted an extensible dictionary. While I only completed a proof-of-concept, I learnt a lot about Scala & Yoruba in the process.
