I build things where trust is not optional.
Founders and operators come here when they need a thought partner who has done it, not just taught it.
About
I grew up in Abuja, Nigeria dreaming of becoming an inventor. That instinct never left. Over the past decade I have built hardware, software, and AI tools and learned that the gap between what AI produces and what humans can actually stand behind is where most products fall apart.
At Microsoft I built features that help experts verify and validate AI-generated information. As co-founder of City Health Tech I developed Opal, a public health device designed to prevent the spread of diseases. Today, through Exelita, I am building a structured AI workspace for EB-1A and NIW immigration petitions as an EB-1A recipient who knows what that process actually costs people.
The through-line is a conviction I call AI Supported, Expert Verified. AI handles the volume, the speed, the heavy lift. A qualified human reviews, challenges, and stands behind the output. Not rubber-stamped. Verified. That is the foundation of everything I ship.
