How I Became an AI/ML Engineer in Nigeria My Real Roadmap Failures and What Actually Worked
From web development to shipping production grade Nigerian language models and landing a real AI role. The honest technical journey with practical lessons.
Thoughts on AI, software engineering, automation, and building products that matter.
From web development to shipping production grade Nigerian language models and landing a real AI role. The honest technical journey with practical lessons.
Every project I've ever shipped, I shipped before I felt ready. The waiting-to-be-ready version of me would have shipped zero.
Most Nigerian businesses are sitting on three massive revenue leaks that a properly built digital system would seal completely. Here's what they are and what fixing them actually looks like.
Every major AI model was trained on data that doesn't reflect how African developers build software. So I'm building one that does — fine-tuned on Nigerian fintech, Pidgin, and real production patterns from the ground up.
Every successful product I've built started by solving a problem I could see with my own eyes. Here's why building for Nigeria isn't a limitation — it's a competitive advantage.
Most developers waste 60% of their project time on setup, boilerplate, and debugging the same patterns repeatedly. Here's how I cut that down using AI in my actual workflow.
Most AI models don't just get things wrong — they get things wrong while sounding completely sure of themselves. I built TruthGuard to measure exactly that.
