Growing up in Nigeria, irregular power supply has always been the norm, and it has hindered productivity a great deal.

I'm a geophysicist, and I get into flow when I'm playing with signals and working with them to make sense of what they reveal. Geophysics gives me that opportunity, interpreting what lies kilometres beneath the surface.

Nigeria sits on untapped gas reservoirs large enough to transform its energy landscape, yet gas continues to be flared because capturing it isn't considered economically viable. That realisation is part of why I want to join hands with professionals to develop sustainable ways to tap into our resources while being responsible for the environment.

My core focus is subsurface geophysics: understanding what lies beneath the surface, and applying Python and machine learning to interpret it faster and with greater confidence.
