Bio

Sigh, OP


I was born in Ota, Nigeria, a place where community deficits weren't just something you read about, but something you lived with and learned to question. From an early age, I was drawn not just to technology, but to the deeper question of how society works, who it serves, and who it leaves behind.

My first encounter with technology hands-on didn’t come from a classroom, but from curiosity and friendship. A friend invited me to join my secondary school’s computer club. I joined without fully understanding what technology meant, but I felt something important was happening there. That moment quietly planted the seed for everything that followed.

Not long after, I found my voice through storytelling. I started a blog called, driven by the belief that media, technology, and pop culture could shape the mindset of young Nigerians. I wanted to influence how young people saw themselves, their society, and their future.

But ambition came with consequences. While studying Industrial Chemistry at the Varsity, I struggled to balance academics with blogging. Eventually, academic instability forced me to drop out. It was painful, but it was also a turning point. I realised I needed clarity, direction, and a second chance.

That second chance came through computer science.

I gained admission into a CS programme with a renewed sense of purpose. Yet the journey wasn’t linear. Two years in, my grades suffered again, and I made a difficult decision: I stopped blogging to focus on my studies. It felt like losing a part of myself, but it also marked the beginning of a deeper transformation.

Ironically, it wasn’t until my final year at varsity that I truly fell in love with computer science. I explored product design at first, but gradually became drawn to the technical foundations of software. After graduation, my NYSC placement exposed me to real-world systems, real-world problems, and real-world impact. My environment shaped how I understood technology, not just as code, but as ideology, infrastructure, and influence.

That was when everything connected.

I began to see computer science not merely as a technical discipline, but as a social force. With the rise of AI, automation, and the shifting boundary between digital and physical realities, I became deeply interested in how technology reshapes labour, identity, and power structures.

Out of that reflection, Codeciety was born, a vision to make technology inclusive, reflective, democratised and more socially conscious. I wanted to build not just software, but systems of thought, where engineering meets society, and innovation meets responsibility.

Today, I work deeply in Server-Side Development, DevOps, and Data Systems for AI. I’m fascinated by how scalable systems are built and how they influence real human lives. My curiosity keeps pushing me beyond code, into public discourse, and the broader impact of technology on society.

I don’t just want to build software, I want to understand how software builds society.

I’m still learning, still questioning, still becoming from North of England.
