BSc Physics and Astronomy, University of Nigeria, Nsukka — Lagos, Nigeria.

About

My career is driven by a simple philosophy: if a tool or resource doesn't exist to make learning clearer, build it. Armed with a background in Physics and Astronomy from the University of Nigeria, I have dedicated my path to making intricate scientific theories accessible and engaging through both expert teaching and innovative mobile app creation.

Whether I am in the classroom preparing students for SSCE and Cambridge GCE examinations, authoring open-access practical physics manuals, or developing mobile learning applications in Flutter and Dart, my focus remains on practical execution and user impact. Leadership has also been a core pillar of my journey; stepping up to lead a community development group taught me how to navigate stakeholder engagement, manage organizational budgets, and partner with government agencies to resolve critical infrastructure barriers. I thrive at the intersection of technology, education, and strategic operations.

Curriculum Delivery: Specialized in teaching senior secondary and university-level Physics and STEM subjects with a strong emphasis on hands-on laboratory work and exam strategy. Comfortable with both NERDC curriculum and British curriculum.

App Development: Built functional digital companions featuring virtual lab activities, automated testing environments, and AI-assisted study tools.

Community Leadership: Directed multi-stakeholder initiatives, established official documentation structures, and earned certificates of meritorious service.

Scientific Inquiry: Analyzed large astrophysical datasets comparing BL Lac objects and FSRQs using advanced quantitative techniques.

I welcome connections from colleagues, leaders, and recruiters interested in collaborating on STEM education, educational technology, or institutional leadership.

Undergraduate Research - Blazar Sample Comparison

→

Summary

Comparison of Blazar Samples in the Second-Fermi-LAT Catalogue. Compared 395 BL Lac objects and 310 FSRQs from the 2FGL/2LAC Clean Sample using photon spectral index, redshift and gamma-ray flux. Distribution analysis and simple linear regression produced a strong correlation in the combined sample (r = 0.86), which weakened when the populations were examined separately.
