I build Go REST APIs and install intelligent automation and security systems.
What I'm looking for
I've built REST APIs with Go and Gin at A2SV | Africa to Silicon Valley while developing a strong foundation in data structures and algorithms.
At H & O Automation Systems Ltd., I retrofit home automation for six maisonette units, converting conventional switches to Sonoff smart switches and integrating lighting, motorised curtains, and Alexa Echo Hubs. I've also installed and configured CCTV, access control, PABX, addressable fire alarm, and centralised automation systems.
My Electrical and Electronics Engineering background supports hands-on work with Hikvision, Matrix, Honeywell Gent, HDL, Paxton, WinPak, QNAP QVRPro, and IMS 4000 systems.
I've also taught Python, led STEM outreach for IEEE at the University of Lagos, and contributed to an e-learning prototype designed for high school students.

Pre-University STEM Outreach Lead
Jan 2024 - Oct 2024 (9 months)
Coordinated the visitation to two schools to introduce to the science students in SS1 and SS2 the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (IEEE), guide them on their future career prospects, and educate them on the power of positive mental attitude in their academics.
I tutored students in the basics of programming (data types, control flow, conditionals) up to the intermediate stage (Object Oriented Programming, Exceptions, etc.) using the Python Programming Language.
I participated in The Bridge: Chicago 2020 Virtual Program by Upkey, where I worked on a Capstone Project focused on designing for social innovation. The program brought together participants from over fifty countries and divided us into ten groups. My team, Capstone 4, presented a prototype e-learning application called Edgroup for high school students, which allows for interactive learning, stud
Installed conduit piping, wired newly constructed buildings, and fitted electrical components. Additionally, I identified and resolved electrical malfunctions through diagnostic and repair procedures.
