AI Builder · Writer of The Grid
I build automation systems and independent products, and write The Grid: fiction about the infrastructure quietly running modern life.
A note from the builder
Taught myself to build while studying agricultural economics outside Lagos. The path was sideways. Curiosity about how systems worked, then about how interfaces shaped behavior, then about how the AI models doing the new work were actually structured. Today I ship automation systems, deploy independent products, and write a fiction series called The Grid about the same infrastructure I work inside during the day. The work and the writing run on the same engine.
Currently in production
Energy Product
SolarWise sizes a solar power system in under a second. You enter your appliances, set your city, and three engineered designs come back with full component specs. It exists because most people deciding on solar in Lagos are forced to trust a salesperson's instinct. Now they do not have to.

Music Product
YourGbedu is the platform for custom Afrobeats songs about real people. You fill out a brief, a producer composes the track, and the song goes where greeting cards used to live. The work is making each one feel inevitable, not produced.

The Grid
The Grid is a fiction series about the infrastructure that quietly runs modern life: AI, automation, energy, robotics, automated finance. Each episode reads as a story; each one ends with a Signal Decoder that traces the fiction back to real signals from the same week.
A factory lead must decide whether to trust his team's two-week signoff or an AI review tool that finds a critical flaw in forty minutes.

Data Systems
Ten documents, eighty-seven pages, one shared template. Three case studies in how raw operational data becomes decision-ready output: a Nigerian marketplace, a distributor, and a retail bank. The documentation discipline is what is being demonstrated: findings framed for executives, models explained for engineers, and runbooks written for the moment the analyst is not in the room.
Read case study →Data Pipeline
A vetting workflow that ran for two days unattended and returned 20,509 X profiles with verification status, follower counts, and region data filled in. Python, Playwright, openpyxl. Replaced a job that would have taken a small team weeks.
Read case study →AI Retrieval System
An n8n workflow that pulls the right context from a source library before answering, so an assistant responds from actual reading instead of guessing. Built so a domain expert can maintain it without touching code.

I work the way a careful older engineer would: small steps, real tests, refusal to ship something I have not watched run. My edge is listening to a messy problem, finding what actually matters, and turning it into something operational. The work runs in four lanes: AI retrieval, automation, blockchain monitoring, and applied modeling. Anthropic certified across the Claude API, AI Fluency, Teaching, and Nonprofit frameworks. Agricultural economics at FUNAAB, second class upper, 2024. NYSC completed. Lagos-based, working remotely across time zones.
