Current focus
Niching into Platform Engineering with a focus on AI infrastructure. After years of generalist cloud and DevOps work, I'm going deep on internal developer platforms, AI service deployment patterns, and how to make intelligent systems reliably operable at scale.
My current frame: Platform Engineering is the discipline that closes the gap between what teams want to build and what the infrastructure can actually sustain. AI infra makes that gap larger and the consequences of getting it wrong more visible.
Working on
G3Digital Academy: continuing to expand the platform I built as G3Women's CTO, a serverless multilingual LMS on Google Cloud Run with Aunty Ada, the Gemini-powered AI learning companion. Currently adding more course content and improving the AI's quiz-state awareness across all four supported languages.
Journey to become a Google Developer Expert (GDE) in Cloud: this is active and intentional. I was selected for the GDE Academy EMEA programme in 2025 (1 of 57 from 1,452 applicants). The GDE programme recognises technical experts who contribute to the developer community. I'm working toward the full GDE designation in Cloud.
Writing: publishing technical articles for FreeCodeCamp and the Google Cloud publication on Medium, focused on practical AI infrastructure and reliability topics.
Learning
Going deeper into Platform Engineering: golden paths, internal developer platforms, and how to abstract infrastructure complexity in a way that empowers teams rather than obscuring it from them.
AI inference infrastructure: specifically around latency optimisation for Gemini-based applications across multi-region deployments. This came directly out of the talk I gave at DevFest Abuja and Kano.
Community
Running G3Women as Chairman and CTO. Our programmes are active and expanding reach across northern Nigeria. The HerSite IWD 2026 programme delivered 10 live websites for women-led businesses in a single day, from 97 applicants across Africa.
Building out CNCF Kaduna, the cloud-native community chapter I co-founded in 2025, the seventh in Nigeria.
Mentoring engineers transitioning into DevOps and cloud, particularly people coming from non-traditional backgrounds.
Thinking about
What it means to build AI for low-resource environments, where connectivity is unreliable, compute is expensive, and the assumption that users speak English is quietly embedded in every default. Building Aunty Ada in Hausa, Yoruba, and Igbo as first-class languages (not translations of an English model) changed how I think about this.
The infrastructure gap in the Nigerian Startup Act. I raised this at the GIZ/DTC policy dialogue in 2023 and it's still not resolved. Affordable cloud infrastructure outside Lagos matters enormously for anyone trying to build something real.
