As a child I enjoyed figuring out how things worked and I was good in Math.

I have a Bachelors in EE from the University of Lagos and 2 Masters in Telecommunication Engineering and Operations Management from the University of Arkansas Fayetteville.
I'm currently working on a Masters in Business Intelligence and Analytics from Stevens Institute of Technology

Meetings on designing a new platform and how to integrate it into the network.
Planning out schedules for maintenance work and supporting maintenance activities.
Testing new services on the network before being released to the public.

Figuring out solutions to better serve our customers.

When we successfully launch a new product or service.

One of the challenges I face is how to keep being innovative. I overcome this challenge by continue to study and improve myself. This keeps me motivated and challenged and helps me remain innovative.

I'm married with 2 children, an 11yr old boy and 5yr old girl.

To be part of the team that helps my company accomplish our innovative goals in this digital age and remain a technology leader.

My parents were my greatest inspiration. They developed a love of science in me and encouraged my to pursue my engineering dreams.

Stay focused on your goals. Math and science classes may be a little challenging but remember that there are many before you that have also faced similar challenges. You will also overcome and be successful.
