Engineer by degree.
Developer by compulsion.

Mechatronics is the degree you pick when you can't choose between machines and computers. I picked it precisely so I wouldn't have to choose — and then didn't choose anyway.

// the short version

I'm a final-year Mechatronics Engineering student at Bells University of Technology, and for the last two years I've been running two careers in parallel: by day (officially), CAD and electrical engineering — piping models, lighting simulations, single-line diagrams, data-center documentation. By night (also officially), mobile and web development — Flutter and React Native apps in production, with real users and real crash reports.

The useful side effect: I've become a translator. Engineering teams and software teams notoriously talk past each other, and I've sat on both sides of that conversation — close enough to the hardware to respect it, close enough to the codebase to ship it. Requirements written in engineer-speak come out the other end as working software, and vice versa.

// the log

  1. [2024-10] Joined Decentralyne as a mobile developer — still there, still shipping.
  2. [2025-07] Industrial attachment at NNPC Engineering & Technical Company: piping, Plant 3D, clash reviews.
  3. [2025-11] Picked up a frontend role at Downtown — site + dashboard.
  4. [2026-03] Wrapped up Downtown. Shipped, handed over, moved on.
  5. [2026] SIWES placement at a Lagos data center — live electrical infrastructure, SOPs, SLDs. (current)

// full disclosure

I once launched a public learning series on LinkedIn called "100 Days of Growth." It lasted four days. In my defence, the growth was real — I just spent it building things instead of posting about building things. The series may return; the consistency arc is still in development.
