Ayo Okunola
@ayookunola
UX Designer and Frontend Developer building conversion-first digital experiences with AI.
What I'm looking for
I’m a UX Designer and Frontend Developer who designs and builds digital experiences that don’t just look good, but also work—bridging the gap between design and development from wireframes to fully functional builds. I’ve been selected as an AI Fellow across three programmes—3MTT x MIT, 3MTT x Airtel NextGen, and Qubators and Development AI Foundry—so I’m trained at the intersection of AI, product thinking, and the future of the web.
As founder and technical lead at Kodeio, I set product direction and lead frontend development in React, Next.js, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, while overseeing client delivery; to date, we’ve trained 50+ people in JavaScript and built managed websites for clients like DMAF and Mel Haven Children Foundation. I also delivered high-performance WordPress sites (e.g., DMAF) with Elementor, custom CSS, SEO, security, and performance optimization—so every project is clear, easy to use, and conversion-focused.
