Education
Federal University of Technology Owerri
Feb 2002 - Oct 2006
Even though I am currently pursuing an MSc in Computer Science (University of East London), my first degree was in Petroleum Engineering. Working as an engineer for 10+ years, I picked up product-related important skills like Systems thinking, analytical and critical thinking, leadership, autonomy, team playability and more.
My years as an engineer in a high stakes profession has continued to help me approach projects from a systems mindset.
