About Me

I build data architecture that scales businesses.

I hold a First Class B.Eng. in Chemical Engineering and an MSc in Sustainable Engineering: Chemical Processing (Distinction) from the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow. My academic and professional foundation is deeply rooted in the green energy transition—modelling district heating systems, analysing hydrogen feasibility, and developing computational tools for sustainable infrastructure.

At Lekki Freeport Terminal - Nigeria's largest seaport - I founded the Operations Data Analytics unit from scratch. I built the pipelines, the Power BI dashboards, and the governance framework that automated reporting to CMA CGM HQ in Paris and to Nigerian regulators, cutting manual processing time by over 90%.

“Clean pipelines and good dashboards are infrastructure - not extras.”

Now based in the United Kingdom, I run Mobo Digital — an independent data consultancy delivering 20+ projects globally, from government procurement intelligence platforms to real-time district heating dashboards.

When not building pipelines, I'm probably overthinking my FPL team - yes, I built a whole platform for it.

Academic and Technical Research

Research

My research combines computational engineering, reproducible data workflows, and industrial modelling, with a focus on energy systems and carbon capture applications.

University of Strathclyde (Distinction, 2025)

MSc Thesis: Computational Carbon Capture & Isotherm Modelling

Developed a full computational data workflow for CO2/CH4 separation on ZIF-8. Built a Python pipeline to collect and harmonise 256 dataset records from NIST, screened for reproducible outlier-controlled consensus isotherms. Fitted data using Toth and IAST modelling, translating abstract adsorption data into robust industrial screening insights.
