The short version.

I’m in Rice’s class of 2029, majoring in electrical and computer engineering with minors in computational and applied mathematics and data science. I grew up in Maryland with a Gambian mom and a Nigerian dad, and I’ve been starting things since high school: a nonprofit in 2021, a photography business in 2023 (the drone came first, off a Costco shelf in 2020), and a drink company in 2025.

In summer 2026 I was an electrical engineering intern at Terra Industries in Abuja, Nigeria, where I rotated across autonomous drones, ground vehicles, and solar power systems. At Rice, I lead the ECU and telemetry team on the Electric Vehicle Team and direct the enterprise sector of the Rice Student Venture Fund.

Where I’ve worked.

Jun to Aug 2026
Terra Industries
Electrical Engineering Intern
Abuja, Nigeria
Terra is an early-stage African defense and autonomy startup, and I worked a different problem almost every day. I rotated across autonomous drones, autonomous ground vehicles, and the power system for a solar surveillance product, working under the Head of Electrical Engineering on hardware builds, soldering included.
Jan 2026 to now
Rice Student Venture Fund
Enterprise Sector Director
Houston, TX
I lead the fund’s enterprise (B2B) sector: I oversee its associates, source startups, present at the weekly all-hands, and choose the startup we pitch to the Investment Committee each semester. Before that I was on the healthcare team, where I sourced Haast Autonomous and wrote the memo behind one of the fund’s two deals.
Fall 2026 to now
Rice Electric Vehicle Team
Head of ECU & Telemetry
Houston, TX
I lead the team’s ECU and telemetry work, which right now means scoping CAN integration with the battery management system and handling lighting control.
2023 to 2025
Evon Medics
Medical Device Researcher
Maryland
I selected and recruited patients alongside MDs and PhDs for Phase I of the CBOT-P clinical trial, and built a program that screened the entire patient database for trial eligibility. I’m a co-author on research presented at ACNP and the Society for Neuroscience and published in Neuropsychopharmacology.
