How can AI's benevolence shape humanity's harmony?
SF-based founder building at the intersection of AI and growth.
No transaction-led small business should have to become a marketing expert just to grow. That's the problem I'm solving at Kolanut AI. We're building AI-native software that turns fragmented marketing and customer data into coordinated, autonomous growth actions, replacing the need for domain expertise so they can focus on what they actually do.
It's the latest expression of something I keep coming back to: using technology to remove the barriers between people and the opportunities in front of them.
Before Kolanut, I built the first real-time ML feature store microservice powering Viva's feeds recommendation engine at Microsoft, shaping how millions experience remote work.
Before that, I was at Releaf, helping an ambitious team rethink food processing infrastructure across Africa.
I studied Computer Engineering at Duke University and Nano-Electronics at St. Petersburg State Electrotechnical University in Russia.
But the spark started earlier where I was born, Makurdi, Nigeria, where competitive math during my high school days connected me to peers around the world and gave me the global lens I still carry and seek to expand.
Always down to talk AI, Martech, Fintech, and Climate.
