A little over two years ago, I came to the U.S. from Nigeria at 14 with a suitcase and an obsession with ML. Today, I'm 16 and working on Computer Vision + Robotics at @Apple Recap: → Competed in Math & Physics Olympiads from 11y/o → Won Rubik’s Cube competitions at my boarding school, with a personal best of 18 seconds → Lost my grandma to an undiagnosed illness: one of the reasons I became very interested in AI → Graduated high school and started college at 15 → Researched diffusion models for crystal generation, inspired by drug discovery → Prototyped robotic wheelchairs for people with disabilities → Worked on an EdTech startup, OpenClaw for Students → Joined @Apple this may on the ESCI org! → Went to @ycombinator startup and met of the brightest and most ambitious minds My dream is to build companies that expand what humanity can do with AI I'll be sharing my journey here! Physical AI, agentic systems, and everything I'm learning along the way.
