Confirmed Member of the Nigeria Computer Society

I recently reached a meaningful milestone in my professional journey: my official membership in the Nigeria Computer Society (NCS). Receiving the confirmation letter was more than a formality; it felt like a recognition of my dedication to the computing profession and my readiness to contribute to the growth of technology in Nigeria. My membership number, 20350, is now a part of my identity within this community, and it represents belonging to a network of professionals who are shaping the digital future of our nation.

This achievement carries both pride and responsibility. It is an opportunity to connect with brilliant minds, share knowledge, and gain recognition in the tech industry. More importantly, it is a call to actively contribute through innovation, research, and mentorship to the advancement of computing in Nigeria. The upcoming induction ceremony at the International Conference will be a defining moment, not just because I will receive... Continue reading

My art explores the deep connections between African philosophy, identity, and storytelling. I draws from ancestral wisdom, symbolic language, and lived experience, transforming traditional ideas into contemporary visual narratives. [Artist Statement]
I am a Software Engineer skilled in building practical and efficient applications. I work with PHP, Python and C# to create reliable applications and AI-driven solutions. I focus on writing clean, scalable code and designing systems that are intuitive and effective.

I began my formal art education at Yaba College of Technology, where I earned a National Diploma (ND) in General Art. I then proceeded to the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, for a Bachelor’s degree in Fine and Applied Arts with Education. My studio practice culminated with a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in Painting from the University of Benin. My MFA thesis, “Exploration of Pareidolia Phenomenon for Mixed-Media Painting,” marked a pivotal point in my conceptual focus on visual abstraction and psychological interpretation.

I’m best known for my Osondu and Soul Searcher series—bodies of work that showcase my signature use of intricate line work, dynamic strokes, and culturally embedded iconography. The Osondu Series alone features over 200 drawings centered on African cultural heritage, expressed through detailed linear motifs inspired by traditional Uli and Nsibidi designs.

In addition to my visual art practice, I hold a National Diploma (ND), Higher National Diploma (HND) and Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree in Computer Science, Master in Information Technology (MIT), Master of Education (M.Ed) in Educational Technology and a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree in ICT Education and Artificial Intelligence from Lagos State University. My doctoral research explored the intersection of art, science education, and AI through a culturally responsive framework. This multidisciplinary foundation informs my contributions to STEAM education and edtech innovations across Africa.
