Olajide Oluwatosin

In 2014, an undergraduate with a diploma, I entered the entrepreneurial journey centered on mobile devices, computers and digital technology and its concepts. The goal been making technology more accessible, efficient and (yes) making life seamless. Passionate about making life stress-free, ensuring a balanced, fair playing ground for everyone around me, I scaled from growing a profitable, bootstrapped start-up with a full-time team of three to having reliable partners around the country. In addition to being a technoprenuer, I decided to use the power of my time and experience to volunteer with some organizations and humanitarian friends bettering life and ensuring a more sustainable environment. I am a researcher, writer and teach research writing to undergraduates on consultation basis. I am also enrolled into leadership tutelage to who so decides to teach life. Before devoting my work fulltime to ICEx Technologies as co-founder and team lead engineering, I served as Team lead ICT at buynowpaylater.com.ng; ICT Consultant for several firms and departments, Intern at SITA among others. My educational background includes a M.tech and B.Tech in Computer science both from the Federal University of Technology Akure, Nigeria.
