About Me
I mostly write about technology, society and product-building. I'm currently writing a thesis on Nigeria's cryptocurrency policy.

I regularly alternate between research papers and whole texts. My most recent reads:
- Thoughts and Sentiments on the Evil of Slavery by Ottobah Cugoano
- The Online Disinhibition Effect by John Suler
- Algorithmic AI Consciousness by Samuel Kimpton-Nye
Writing
Here are a few of my favourites:
- Discontent: on the implications of our relationship with social media.
- Cide Effects: on the language surrounding suicide stigma.
- Yeah, Write: on writing without LLMs as a form of agency.
- African Intelligence: on the commercialisation of Afrobeats.
- Yamato: on company-building for the long-run.
