I work at the intersection of maritime operations, cybersecurity, AI engineering, and plant science, four disciplines that compound into one focus: building digital infrastructure for high-stakes African industries.
As IT Lead and Company Security Officer at Jetense Consultants Limited, I own cyber risk management, cybersecurity governance, and digital transformation across an offshore fleet in the Gulf of Guinea. As an MSc researcher at MOUAU, I'm first author on three 2026 papers in plant genetics — morpho-chemical and pomological characterisation of Nigerian Carica papaya accessions, and genetic variability for yield in Amaranthus hybridus. As a builder, I ship TypeScript MCP servers, autonomous agents, and M365-integrated systems from a mid-tier laptop with no GPU.
The thread connecting it: maritime cybersecurity infrastructure, GRC, OT/IT convergence, and vessel cyber risk management for operators the industry has historically under-served.
Lead author on three peer-reviewed papers (2026) from MSc work in Plant Breeding & Genetics at MOUAU — genetic characterisation of Nigerian crop germplasm for biofortification and yield improvement.
