About Me

From the classroom to the codebase

I started out as a science teacher, which taught me something project management courses never could: how to break down something complicated, sequence it into steps a room full of people can actually follow, and stay calm when the plan changes mid-lesson. That instinct — structure first, empathy always — followed me straight into tech.

Over the past three years I've moved from coordinating full website builds to running end-to-end system integrations to now owning IT project management from the ground up at a PropTech AI startup. I'm the kind of PM who reads the API docs, sits in on the standups, and still finds time to write the RAID log nobody else wants to touch.

I'm currently based in Kano, Nigeria, and open to remote Project Manager and Coordinator roles — especially with African tech companies and globally distributed, remote-first teams who need someone who can turn ambiguity into a shipped product.

Roles, problems, and what actually happened

IT Project Manager · Konnar (PropTech AI)
01/2026 – Present · Remote
Sole IT PM, reporting directly to founders
ActiveRemoteAgilePropTech ↗ Visit Live Site
The Problem
Konnar had shipped fast as a young PropTech startup, but that speed left behind an unstabilized platform — a growing backlog of bugs and half-finished features across its shortlet, long-term rental, and property sales verticals, with no formal project function to track any of it.
My Role
Brought in as the company's first and only IT Project Manager. I built the project management function from zero — designed the Q2 2026 stabilisation sprint, structured a 27-ticket backlog across a Next.js / Node.js / MongoDB stack, and worked directly with the founders to translate the product roadmap into a formal, resourced delivery plan.
The Result
Introduced structured sprint planning, a RACI accountability framework, and a ClickUp-based workflow that cut untracked task resolution time by an estimated 60%. The 7-week stabilisation sprint kept engineering and business stakeholders aligned against measurable Q2 milestones.

IT Project Manager – System Integration · BrightMart LTD
09/2024 – 10/2025 · Remote
System Integration Projects
CompletedRemoteAutomationE-commerce
The Problem
BrightMart's sales and finance teams were losing hours every week to manual, repetitive work — copying leads into email campaigns by hand and rebuilding invoices from spreadsheet data one row at a time. Both processes were slow and error-prone, and neither scaled with growth.
My Role
Designed and delivered two end-to-end integrations as project lead: a CRM-to-Email Marketing automation, and a Google Sheets-to-Zoho Books invoice pipeline — both built on middleware, REST APIs, and Make. I also built the deduplication logic, consent-based filtering rules, and dynamic segmentation that sat underneath them.
The Result
Eliminated manual data entry and invoice creation, cutting operational effort by up to 80% and billing processing time by an estimated 70%. Unqualified contacts in active campaigns dropped 30–40%, and failed sync events fell by more than 60% thanks to retry logic and structured error handling.

IT Project Manager – GreenWave Website Development · Stanix Academy
07/2023 – 08/2024 · Remote
Led a 10-person cross-functional team
CompletedRemoteAgileWeb Development ↗ Visit Live Site
The Problem
GreenWave needed a full public website built from scratch to support its sustainability mission — a 12-month build with a 10-person cross-functional team, an 80+ item backlog, and the near-certainty that scope would shift along the way.
My Role
Owned the entire website development lifecycle as IT Project Manager: ran every sprint ceremony, backlog grooming session, daily standup, KPI tracking sheet, and risk register across 48 weekly sprints, translating business requirements into technical task breakdowns the dev team could execute against.
The Result
Absorbed 3 mid-project scope changes without moving the original launch date. Identified and resolved all 28 UAT-logged issues before go-live, achieving a defect-free launch with a 94/100 Google Lighthouse performance score.
