All Progress is an act of sheer will

I have been passionate about technology and building tools for as long as I can remember. My journey began with an early fascination for software development, which has evolved into a career focused on improving developer experiences and building communities.

Currently, I work at SurrealDB as a Developer Experience Engineer, where I enhance developer tooling, documentation, and accessibility. Within my first six months, I led a major migration of SurrealDB's documentation platform, significantly improving usability and fostering greater contributions from developers.

Before SurrealDB, I made impactful contributions as a Senior Developer Advocate at CodeSandbox, improving usability and creating templates that simplified workflows. At Cloudflare, I supported developers through tutorials, integrations, and workshops, contributing to the growth of serverless and JavaScript ecosystems.

My tenure at Gatsby as a Senior Software Engineer, Developer Experience further highlighted my leadership in technical education. I authored guides, built tools, and implemented scalable community initiatives to support global developer engagement.

In addition to my corporate roles, I am an Instructor at egghead.io and Technical Editor at A List Apart, where I create educational content covering modern web development practices. My articles, featured on platforms like LogRocket and Scotch.io, explore topics such as performance optimization, accessibility, and front-end technologies.

Driven by a mission to empower developers and grow the African tech landscape, I combine technical expertise with a passion for community building.
