This is the timeline most portfolios hide — 15+ years in a classroom, a return to university to solve teaching problems with tech, a 3MTT spark in 2025, and 12 live deployed projects since.

3MTT Programme — Data Science Track
3MTT · Nigerian Government Digital Skills Initiative
The spark that started the technical journey. Before 3MTT, the problems were clear — fifteen years of classroom observation had made sure of that. After 3MTT, the problem-solving instincts, inquisitiveness, and curiosity finally had a technical language. This is where the transition from educator to builder accelerated into something unstoppable.
Deployed twelve real-world projects across insurance, logistics, banking, HR, EdTech, NLP, financial inclusion, and mental health. Every single one is live. Every single one solves a real problem. Not portfolio decoration — working tools, openly accessible.
The moment everything changed. A full Computer Based Test platform — built on an Android tablet, zero budget, zero external libraries — used with real students for the first time. The constraint-as-brief philosophy, fully proven.

2023Degree
B.Sc.(Ed) Computer Science Education
Lagos State University (LASU)
A degree that formalised the thinking I had already been doing in practice for years. Computer Science Education bridges the technical and the pedagogical — it asks not just how to build systems, but how to teach others to think about them. That dual lens is at the core of everything I do.
Founded HMG Concepts — His Marvellous Grace Educational Consult
Founder & CEO
From tutoring individual students to building an organisation. HMG Concepts started as a tutoring brand and grew into four subsidiaries: HMG Academy (exam prep), HMG Technologies (EdTech tools), HMG Media (YouTube and content), and the parent brand. Over a decade of students, lessons, and decisions that shaped every project I have built since.
Walking into a Nigerian secondary school classroom for the first time as a teacher. This is where the real education started — mine included. Forty students. Chalk and a blackboard. Mathematics. The pressure of being responsible for whether someone passes their WAEC exam or doesn't. Everything I build today traces back to this moment.
