about me
hi there! i am Ayotomiwa, your neighborhood Yoruba boy and software engineer. i am convinced that education is the biggest flywheel for society. if we believe Obama’s (likely misattributed) quote that knowledge is the currency of the 21st century, then my mission is to make everyone filthy rich!
i grew up with some incredible teachers and professors. that alone is reason enough to see the impact of education, but the scholarships i received also showed me how transformative an opportunity at an excellent education can be. i want to build that for others.
growing up in Nigeria provided me with perspective that spurs me to advocate for students/contexts that are underrepresented in America. issues can range from low quality mobile cameras and high-latency connections to power outages and domestic responsibilities.
working as a software engineer provides me with the hard core, hands-on experience to root my optimism in reality. i am interested in how to build and deploy the latest developments that impact learners today or that concretely improve learning outcomes in the future.
i enjoy playing a ton of sports, recently getting into yoga and running. i also enjoy board games and love watching psychological thrillers.
