  Managing Director

  We are an FCMG manufacturing company for single-use food-service & beverage-service non-durables, located 10 minutes away from Africa’s largest market (Onitsha). We’ve disrupted the market for often imported, low price-point items (toothpicks) that are extremely difficult to make cost-effectively in Nigeria. With revenues over NGN200 million (USD$640,000) in FY 2016 & 2017, we are the largest toothpicks packing company in Nigeria by revenue, output volume and installed capacity (2 billion toothpicks per year).We succeeded with our toothpick venture by outsourcing the toothpick production, and focusing on efficient re-packaging. Specifically, we;ve invented proprietary packaging machines that semi-automatically fill cups with toothpicks, eliminating the need to do it by hand, allowing us pack them 4x faster than our competition in China.

  FieldDev Group

  Jan 2020 - now

  Founder

  Built and deployed an easy-to-use, GIS web-app that transforms geospatial data in real-time to deliver value to smallholder farmers.Authored a proprietary land sub-division algorithm that automatically divides up a delineated land expanse of any size into a cluster of smaller, adjacent plots, and returns their precise boundary coordinates. The app completely eliminates the need for expensive GPS survey equipment and physical scouting of each farmer's plot. Deployed the app nationally for a federal agency's (NIRSAL) smallholder farmer farm-cluster funding scheme, resulting in an 80% reduction in land survey costs, a 100% increase in survey accuracy, and 3 weeks faster access to funding. Processed data for one million farmers, 5,000 farm clusters, spanning 50k+ hectares. Built a server-side rendered dashboard, updated with real-time data, that gave farm program managers a birds-eye view of farmer engagement metrics (farmer demographics, crop types, geo-mapped farm parcels, and other rich contextual information), allowing them to transparently and effectively communicate KPIs to institutional partners and the general public, and improve their service to farmers.
