Operations leader who ships production software with AI-pair-programming. I turn loose business problems into working products: scope, build, deploy, measure, iterate.

Three professional pillars

Project delivery

Project Manager at Digitflex Global (Nigeria). Multi-stakeholder client work scoped through to sign-off, RAID-managed and reported up.

Operations leadership

Currently Operations Manager at Shine, a UK charity in Swindon. Earlier, seven years in multi-branch microfinance operations in Nigeria under Central Bank regulation — budgets, compliance, audit, staff training.

Business development

Regional Business Development Manager at Astra Polaris. Founder of Kayja Solutions — consulting on growth, business development, and AI-first transformation for founder-led businesses.

Today these three pillars sit on top of an AI-pair-programming engine: Claude Code as the daily driver, with ChatGPT Codex, Google Gemini via Antigravity, and GitHub Copilot in rotation. I take blank ideas to working ventures end-to-end — concept, spec, build, deploy, iterate.
