I design and build hardware that senses, thinks, and moves — from autonomous robots to analog circuits. Currently studying Electrical & Electronics Engineering at the University of Lagos, where I turn microcontrollers, sensors, and actuators into working systems.

About

I'm an Electrical & Electronics Engineering student with a hands-on obsession for embedded systems, IoT, and robotics. I like the moment a circuit stops being a diagram and starts responding to the world — reading sensors, driving motors, and making decisions.

Whether it's an autonomous fire-fighting robot or a purely analog timing circuit, I care about building things that work reliably on real hardware. I'm comfortable moving between schematic capture in KiCad, firmware in Python and Arduino, and the soldering iron.
