I am Co-Founder and CTO at Stears - an African financial data company, headquartered in Lagos, Nigeria. I have built and led the engineering team and later the product team at Stears through product pivots and scale challenges—while staying hands-on technically.

I like to help technical founders and product leaders who are going from zero to one. Those early days while you're trying to find product market fit. I've been through this in both B2C and B2B markets.

I also want to help engineering leaders navigate the tension between building, leading and managing. I have found ways to combine high accountability with psychological safety to produce dedicated engineering teams with sustained high-output over long periods.

I'm currently building an AI-powered product with AI-assisted coding techniques and using several AI tools for productivity boosts. So I have lots and tips and tricks on AI too and how to get the most out of it in your team. I've also written a bit about this.

Here's what I can help you with

- Product in early days - Finding your market and navigating towards product market fit
- Founder/CTO Challenges - Hard conversations, stakeholder management, product & engineering alignment
- Technical Leadership Transitions - Moving from IC to management, or finding the right balance
- Engineering Team Building - Hiring, culture, running small high-output teams
- Technical Architecture & Coding Tips - Backend systems, DevOps, Frontend, Cloud, Data Pipelines etc. I'm handy in all of these
- Tips and tricks on AI Engineering, AI for coding, and AI tooling for your team.

P.S. This is a learning journey for me as a coach too. I bring real operator experience, not polished answers. We’ll think together.
