I'm an Analytics Engineer with Data Culture, a Data Consulting firm where I use dbt regularly to help clients build quality-tested data assets. I've also got a background in financial services and supply chain. I'm passionate about helping organizations to become data-driven and I majorly use dbt for data modeling, while the other aspect of the stack is largely dependent on the client infrastructure I'm working for, so I often say I'm tool-agnostic. 😀
I'm the founder of Nigeria's Young Data Professional Community. I'm also the organizer of the <a href="https://www.meetup.com/lagos-dbt-meetup/" title="Lagos dbt Meetup" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Lagos dbt Meetup</a> which I started, and one of the organizers of the DataFest Africa Conference. I became an active member of the dbt Community in 2021 & <a href="https://coalesce.getdbt.com/blog/how-to-leverage-dbt-community-as-the-first-and-only-data-hire-to-survive" title="spoke at Coalesce 2022" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">spoke at Coalesce 2022</a>.
I’m an Analytics Engineer with Data Culture, a Data Consulting firm where I use dbt regularly to help clients build quality-tested data assets. Before Data Culture, I worked at Cowrywise, one of the leading Fintech companies in Nigeria, where I was a solo data team member, and that was my first introduction to dbt and Analytics Engineering. Before that, I was doing Data Science and Analytics at Deloitte Nigeria. It’s been an exciting journey since I started using dbt and joining the community.Outside of work, I’m very passionate about Community building and Data Advocacy. I founded one of Nigeria’s most vibrant Data communities, “The Young Data Professional Community”. I’m also the Founder of the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.meetup.com/lagos-dbt-meetup/">Lagos dbt Meetup</a> and one of the organizers of the Largest Data Conference in Africa, <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.datacommunityafrica.org/datafestafrica/">DataFest Africa Conference</a>. I became an active member of the dbt community in 2021 & <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://coalesce.getdbt.com/on-demand/how-to-leverage-dbt-community-as-the-first-and-only-data-hire-to-survive">spoke at Coalesce 2022</a>. So when I’m not actively working I’m involved in one community activity or the other.

## Anything else interesting you want to tell us?

Maybe, I will consider DevRel as a career sometime because of my innate passion and love for community and people. Several folks tell me I'm a strong DevRel talent and a valuable asset for any product-led company. If you need someone to bounce ideas off of or discuss😃 your community engagement efforts, please feel free to reach out.

If you need someone to bounce ideas off of or discuss your community engagement efforts, please feel free to reach out. On a side note, it was really exciting for me to attend Coalesce 2024 in Vegas in person, which allowed me not only to learn but, most importantly, to meet amazing persons I’ve only interacted with online, like Bruno, Kuberjain, Dakota and many more; shout-out to <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.zenlytic.com/">Zenlytic</a> and <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.lightdash.com/">Lightdash</a> for making that possible and, most importantly, a huge shout-out to the dbt Lab community team: Amada, Natasha and everyone on the community team for their constant supports to helping out with making the dbt Lagos (Nigeria) meetup a success.
