Controls & Instrumentation
The Backstory
I come from a medical family. My parents run a private hospital. Growing up, the expectation was that I'd follow in their footsteps, but medicine wasn't my path. I was drawn to mathematics and physics instead, and in senior secondary school, a strong performance in the JAMB Physics exam confirmed the direction.
I went on to study Electrical & Electronics Engineering at Covenant University. From there, the journey took me through power plants, control rooms, and industrial automation, eventually opening the door to data and software. The timeline below tells the rest of the story.

The Journey
Circuit Theory, Control Systems, Power Systems, Electronics. Where the foundation was laid. Five years of rigorous engineering training that shaped everything that came after.
Monitored HMI systems for gas turbines at a 450MW power generation facility, ensuring real-time performance tracking and safety compliance. First real taste of industrial-scale engineering.
Participated in inspection and certification of power distribution systems including transformers, feeders, distribution lines, and substations. Conducted site assessments ensuring regulatory safety compliance across residential, commercial, and industrial premises.
Led end-to-end design and integration of instrumentation and control systems for industrial process automation. Developed PLC control logic using Allen-Bradley and Mitsubishi platforms, configured HMI/SCADA systems, and resolved complex control loop instability issues that had previously eluded detection.
PLC Programming, SCADA Design, Control Theory, MATLAB/Simulink. A deep dive into the theory and practice of control engineering at a postgraduate level.
Executed precision assembly and quality verification of turbocharger components for global automotive and industrial applications. Applied calibrated instrumentation and torque tools ensuring compliance with engineering specifications and ISO quality standards.
