Hardware roots.
AI ambitions.

I'm a graduate researcher at Prairie View A&M University pursuing my MSc in Electrical Engineering, where I'm prototyping early-exit neural networks on edge hardware to make real-time AI inference faster and cheaper.

Before grad school I spent years shipping products that mattered — from a women's health platform that scaled to five figures, to healthcare APIs that opened three new regional markets and generated $10M in year-one revenue.

What drives me is the full stack: from soldering a microcontroller to training a PyTorch model to launching a product that changes how people live. The most interesting problems live at the edges — edge hardware, edge cases, and the edges between disciplines.

Outside of work I mentor engineers, co-led XR strategy across 16+ African countries, and teach anyone willing to learn.
