👋 Let's Have a Conversation

What sets me apart is my unique combination of 10 years in Audio Visual system design and 4 years in software development, backed by both an Engineering degree and an MBA. This rare blend means I understand complex system integration from both hardware and software perspectives, can design scalable solutions that align with business goals, and effectively bridge the gap between technical teams and stakeholders. I've successfully managed projects serving 250+ units and delivered multiple full-stack applications, giving me the holistic view that Solutions Architects need.

I've spent 10 years as an Audio Visual Design Engineer (2014-2024) working on enterprise AV solutions, managing multi-room audio/video distribution systems, and leading teams on complex integration projects. Since 2020, I've also been working as a Software Developer, building full-stack web applications using React, Node.js, and Python, with cloud deployment on AWS and Netlify. This overlapping experience gives me a comprehensive understanding of both physical infrastructure and cloud-based software systems.

I hold an MBA from the University of Lagos (2016) and a B.Eng in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from Enugu State University of Science and Technology. This combination of technical engineering foundation and business strategy education allows me to approach solution architecture from both technical feasibility and business value perspectives.

Software Development: React, JavaScript, Node.js, Python, REST APIs, HTML/CSS

Cloud & Infrastructure: AWS (Lambda, S3, EC2), Netlify, Serverless Architecture

Databases: MongoDB, PostgreSQL

System Integration: Crestron, HDL, Loxone, Extron, Russound control systems, multi-room AV distribution, automation, video conferencing integration

Project Management: Agile/Scrum, stakeholder management, budget control, technical documentation

My AV background gives me deep expertise in complex system integration, hardware/software interfaces, and physical infrastructure—skills that are invaluable when architecting solutions that span both digital and physical systems. For example, I've designed systems that integrate control systems, network infrastructure, and user interfaces across 250+ units. This experience translates directly to cloud architecture, microservices design, and IoT integration. I understand both the technical constraints of hardware systems and the scalability opportunities of cloud software, allowing me to design truly comprehensive solutions.

I architected and implemented a multi-room AV distribution and automation system serving 250+ residential units. This involved designing a scalable solution that integrated control systems, network infrastructure, and user interfaces while leading a team of 3 engineers over a 6-month period. The project achieved 98%+ client satisfaction and was designed with modular architecture allowing future expansion without major system redesign. This demonstrates my ability to handle enterprise-scale complexity, lead technical teams, and deliver solutions that meet both current needs and future scalability requirements.

I've designed and developed multiple production web applications including e-commerce platforms and corporate websites. Key achievements include building responsive React frontends with Node.js/Python backends, implementing secure payment processing and inventory management, and architecting serverless solutions that reduced hosting costs by 60%. Live examples include spark360ltd.netlify.app (AV systems company website) and heldyfoodshop.netlify.app (e-commerce platform). These projects showcase my ability to deliver full-stack solutions from concept to deployment.

I project managed the end-to-end delivery of an intelligent boardroom and training room automation system. This involved designing an integrated system combining video conferencing, presentation systems, lighting, and environmental controls, while leading a team of 3 engineers through requirements gathering, design, installation, and commissioning. The solution reduced meeting setup time from 15 minutes to under 30 seconds, improved room utilization by 35%, and reduced technical support calls by 70%. This demonstrates my ability to deliver measurable business value while managing complex technical projects and stakeholder expectations.

I'm seeking a Solutions Architect role where I can leverage my unique combination of system integration expertise, software development skills, and business strategy knowledge. I'm particularly interested in organizations that value cross-functional thinking and need someone who can bridge the gap between complex technical systems and business outcomes. I thrive in environments where I can design scalable solutions, lead technical teams, and work directly with stakeholders to deliver high-impact results. I'm especially excited about opportunities in cloud architecture, enterprise systems integration, IoT solutions, and technical leadership positions.

My key strengths include: (1) A unique blend of hardware/software integration experience—I understand the full stack from physical infrastructure to cloud applications, (2) Proven ability to lead technical teams and manage complex projects from conception to delivery, (3) Business-minded engineering approach—my MBA background helps me align technical solutions with business goals and ROI, (4) Strong communication skills—I can translate technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders, and (5) Passion for learning new technologies and staying current with industry trends. I'm also an excellent problem-solver with experience managing budgets and vendor relationships.

I'm passionate about cloud architecture, microservices, and building scalable systems that solve real business problems. I'm particularly interested in IoT integration, smart building solutions, and how modern web technologies can enhance traditional systems. I enjoy the intersection of hardware and software, and I'm excited about emerging technologies like edge computing and AI-powered automation. I also enjoy mentoring junior developers and contributing to the tech community.

You should hire me because I bring a rare combination that's hard to find: deep technical expertise spanning both hardware integration and software development, proven leadership in managing complex enterprise projects, business acumen from my MBA to align solutions with organizational goals, and a track record of delivering measurable results (60% cost reduction, 35% efficiency improvements, 98%+ client satisfaction). I don't just design systems—I design solutions that solve real business problems while considering scalability, cost, and user experience. My cross-functional background means I can communicate effectively with everyone from C-suite executives to hands-on engineers.
