Who is Fola?

I was born in Nigeria and grew up in Ireland, two places that taught me how to adapt fast and stay curious. My degree was in biopharmaceuticals, but at the time, I wasn't sure what I really wanted to do, so I took the opportunity do some traveling.

Over the years, I've lived in a few different corners of the world. A few months in New York, nearly a year in the Netherlands, and two unforgettable years in Vietnam. Living and working across cultures taught me resilience, adaptability, and perspective, all of which now shape how I build, think, and collaborate.

After years of exploring, I came back home and decided to learn how to code. I started with a bootcamp and kept teaching myself from there. That decision changed everything. Today, I'm a software engineer by trade — building tools, solving problems, and chasing mastery in tech.

Hobbies & Interests?

When I'm not coding. I like to move, football has always been a constant in my life, I've played since I was a kid and I still play regularly today. And yes, I support Arsenal, with all the highs and heartbreaks that come with it. I also train calisthenics and kickboxing a few times a week.

Outside of movement and sport, I take time to read. Lately, philosophy and Nietzsche have been at the center of that. I'm fascinated by how ideas shape creativity, systems, and problem-solving. That same curiosity also fuels my love for art and design, and how both connect with technology and culture.
