I'm Tobiloba Odejinmi — an engineer, founder, and the person who still writes the code. I build products companies run in the UK, the US, and across Africa. Two of them, we sold.

About
I started on Fiverr. 270 jobs, 4.9 stars. Then I ran engineering in Lagos, Delaware, and the UK, sold two companies, and now I lead engineering at 10mg Health. The work is the same: make the system hold up when real people depend on it.

Software should take work off people's plates, not add another dashboard they have to check.

Always
Still in the code. Still the person they call when it has to hold.
