He is a registered Engineer with the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN) and holds memberships in several professional bodies, including the Nigeria Institute of Agricultural Engineering (NIAE_M2341), the Nigeria Institute of Management (MNIM_189839), and Onshore Offshore Oil and Gas Professionals (O3GP_000137).
In his academic career, he progressed from Graduate Assistant in 2019 to his current position as Lecturer I, which he assumed on October 1, 2023. He has supervised seven undergraduate B.Eng. projects and served as a Co-Investigator on a 2023 Institution Based Research Grant for 2020/2022 (Batch B), focusing on the development of a palm kernel and shell inclined draper separator. His research has been presented at numerous local and international conferences and workshops. He has authored 10 articles in peer-reviewed academic journals and 3 edited conference proceedings.
Complementing his engineering expertise, he is also a trained educator, certified by the Teacher Registration Council of Nigeria (TRCN) through the Federal College of Education, Osiele. He previously taught subjects including Mathematics, Physics, Technical Drawing, Further Mathematics, and Basic Technology at various secondary schools in the Abeokuta metropolis.
His extensive professional training includes certificates in Health, Safety and Environment (HSE), Professional Project Management (PMP), Quality Assurance and Control, and Oil and Gas Management. He is also skilled in computer desktop publishing, data analysis, and Python programming. His industry experience includes roles as a trainer for capacity-building organizations affiliated with the Industrial Training Fund (ITF) and the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN). He also served as a State Coordinator and Program Facilitator (for HSE, QA&QC, PMP, HRM, and Oil & Gas Management) for Joint Professional Training and Support International (JPTs Int.). Earlier in his career, he worked as a linesman with the National Electric Power Authority at the Ojo Undertaking substation in Lagos State.
