    Mentoring & speaking

    RiseStrong is the mentoring programme I founded in Nigeria — one-to-one work, small-group workshops and digital skills for young people. Alongside it I speak: IT, mathematics and computer science workshops as a Yandex campus ambassador, an ICSC ambassadorship, and conference talks on AI in education and in healthcare.

The story

  1. 2017Jos, Nigeria

    Left on a bilateral scholarship between the Nigerian and Russian governments, with the best WASSCE result in my year — nine A1s in nine subjects.

  2. TodayMoscow, Russia

    First in my year at Voronezh, then two master’s at once — artificial intelligence at MIPT, technology entrepreneurship at Innopolis, top 1% of the class. Everything since has run in parallel rather than in sequence.
