My engineering chops go back to 2002, designing custom electronic automation and programming PROMs/EPROMs in Assembly at Digicon Electronics while completing my Electrical, Electronics and Computer Engineering degree at Nnamdi Azikiwe University, then two years as an IT consultant at Real Partners Global Resources doing Oracle database administration, LAN management, and software/hardware support. In late 2006, while still wrapping up at Real Partners, I joined Port Harcourt Refining Company as a technical assistant and electrical engineer (including the TAM 2009 team), then moved to a fire-safety and EHS officer role at a major Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation facility in Warri. Nine years inside the petroleum industry in total. In 2016 I switched sides. I went back to the University at Buffalo for a second degree in Environmental Engineering, canvassed for New York's Reforming the Energy Vision (REV) with NYPIRG, and reviewed all three of Nigeria's functional refineries for NNPC's rehabilitation program.
Since 2018 I've been writing production software full-time: freelance client work across React, React Native, Rails, and the major cloud providers, then 3+ years shipping at scale at Meetup on React, Node.js, Java, and GraphQL. Today, as a tech founder, I'm writing the most serious code of my career. That arc, from refinery engineer to climate-tech founder, sits at the center of everything I build. As founder & CEO of BackHome Technologies I'm developing AI-powered EV charging infrastructure designed to optimize grid utilization, reduce range anxiety, and accelerate the transition to electric mobility. I don't just build software; I build solutions with a purpose, drawing on the energy systems I once helped operate to design what should replace them.
AI EV-charging co-pilot
An AI-powered platform that helps EV drivers reliably find, evaluate, and route to charging stations based on connector compatibility, real-time availability, pricing, and reliability, with vehicle profiles and a community-reviewed data layer. Live across North America in soft launch.
One-shot AI travel agent
Turn a single prompt like 'plan a luxury summer vacation in the Philippines' into a fully booked trip. ZenTrip infers dates, matches events to the user's persona, sources flights, accommodations, car rentals, and activities with live prices, then returns a generated quote with media for approval. On confirmation, it books the entire itinerary end-to-end.
Digicon Electronics
Earliest hands-on engineering work, designing custom electronic automation and programming PROMs/EPROMs in Assembly for custom applications, alongside my undergraduate Electrical, Electronics and Computer Engineering degree at Nnamdi Azikiwe University.
Real Partners Global Resources
Oracle database administration, LAN management, and software/hardware support across client organizations. The bridge from hardware tinkering to professional systems work.
Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation
Nine years inside the petroleum industry: technical assistant and electrical engineer at Port Harcourt Refining Company (including the TAM 2009 team), then fire-safety and EHS oversight at a major NNPC facility in Warri. Started while still finishing up at Real Partners.
NYPIRG · NNPC
While at Buffalo: canvassing for New York's Reforming the Energy Vision (REV) clean-energy plan with NYPIRG, while in parallel authoring an 86-page review of NNPC's phased rehabilitation across Nigeria's three refineries. The pivot year.
Freelance → Meetup → Tech Founder
Seven+ years building production software. Started with freelance client work across React, React Native, Rails, and cloud (GCP, AWS, Firebase), then 3+ years shipping at scale at Meetup on React, Node.js, Java, and GraphQL. Now writing the most serious code of my career as a tech founder.
BackHome Technologies
Building AI-powered EV charging infrastructure and consumer agentic-AI products. Leading product, engineering, and fundraising from San Francisco.

I design AI systems that take real action on behalf of users, from routing EV drivers to the right charger to booking entire vacations end-to-end, not chat interfaces that hand work back to the human.
Every confidently-routed EV mile displaces an ICE mile. My background in petroleum operations and environmental engineering shapes how I think about electrifying transportation at the infrastructure layer.
I open sourced my own NPM packages, contribute to community-reviewed data layers, and believe the EV transition will be won by ecosystems, not walled gardens.
