Every journey deserves to be heard.

At 20, I joined Solatium Limited as an intern through the Solace Abode Care Initiative. During my internship, I worked on a project focused on classifying brain tumour CT images. The project introduced me to preparing medical imaging data, working with pretrained deep learning models, and evaluating their performance for a real healthcare problem. More importantly, it taught me to think critically about the role of AI in healthcare and how it can support, rather than replace, clinical decision-making.

Working on this project strengthened my technical and problem-solving skills and sparked my interest in applying AI to meaningful real-world challenges. It showed me that developing an AI system is not only about achieving good model performance, but also about understanding the context in which the technology will be used and the people it is intended to support.

Today, I work as a Software Engineer at Solatium Limited, where I continue to build software solutions, particularly in the healthcare space. My current experience has given me a broader understanding of how technology is designed, developed, and deployed in real-world environments, while my early research experience continues to motivate my interest in advancing the use of AI to address healthcare challenges.

At 20, I joined Solatium Limited as an intern through the Solace Abode Initiative. I started by testing the tuberculosis and breast cancer systems, and the current project I have been placed on focuses on the implementation of pneumonia detection. I have learnt, and I am still learning, a lot about cardiothoracic diseases. Working in this field, especially at the intersection of healthcare and AI, has greatly sharpened my skills and further deepened my understanding of how artificial intelligence can be applied in healthcare.

At 19, I joined Solatium Limited as a Backend Developer on the Solace Imaging project. I designed and led the initial backend web server development in Node.js, serving the client-side applications, and implemented end-to-end encryption to keep patient imaging data secure in transit and at rest. My main contribution was building the first MVP, which has since been refined and is now in use by customers. Working on this project showed me how technology can improve medical imaging, and it strengthened my foundation in software engineering.

At 21, I joined Solatium Limited as an intern through the Solace Abode Care Initiative. During my internship, I worked on an imaging workflow and administrative dashboard that helped streamline how medical imaging-related processes were managed. I gained practical experience in frontend development, working with technologies like React and JavaScript, while learning how to turn real-world requirements into usable software. The experience strengthened my technical, problem-solving, and teamwork skills and gave me a better understanding of how software can solve practical challenges. Today, I work as a software engineer, building web applications and products that solve real-world problems.

I joined Solatium Limited at the age of 20 as a project developer to develop web applications. One was Anshewo, an app that allows Canadian residents to remit money to Nigeria. The other was a service that connects medical specialists with hospitals and people who need their medical images read.

Working with Solatium was my first real-life work experience with a team, and it helped me build my knowledge and ability to collaborate. I went on to work in other top companies and today, I work as a Software Engineer at Moniepoint.
