I investigated acoustic solutions in the high-frequency domain to address different listening positions in the car cabin to achieve a reduction in the number of speakers for futuristic vehicles. I developed Python-based simulation frameworks (geometrical and wave-based methods) to model reflection behavior from curved and planar surfaces I correlated simulation predictions with experimental measurements, demonstrating good agreement across key frequencies, and collaborated cross-functionally with engineering teams on system architecture and integration

I led the design and implementation of acoustic treatments for residential and commercial buildings, enhancing sound quality in several venues. I supervised the installation of several large-scale audio-visual systems (including dB Technologies, DAS Audio, Wharfedale, Yamaha, Behringer, JBL systems, etc) in different venues, ensuring optimal performance for events. I developed and delivered sound engineering courses to different churches and NGOs empowering local talent in the audio and general entertainment industries.

I spearheaded the registration of a new campus of the Academy of Sound Engineering in Nigeria, focusing on legal compliance and partnership development. I successfully negotiated key agreements with corporate stakeholders, paving the way for innovative sound engineering education in Nigeria.

I was responsible for overseeing all technical aspects of church services, including audio production and crew management. I successfully enhanced the quality of our broadcasts, reaching a wider audience through local radio and streaming platforms. My leadership in sound and multimedia operations contributed to a more engaging worship experience for our congregation.

Engaged with over 200 students, providing mentorship in the following subjects: physics, mathematics, audio technology, and Pro Tools. My role involved supervising hands-on projects, preparing examination materials, and contributing to curriculum development. This experience honed my skills in educational leadership and technical troubleshooting.

In my role at RMS Entertainment, I led the coordination of technical crews for major events, focusing on delivering exceptional audio experiences. I recorded and mixed over 50 audio tracks and music videos, ensuring high-quality production. Additionally, I designed sound systems for various large venues, significantly improving their audio capabilities. My work contributed to the success of numerous live events and recordings, showcasing my expertise in sound engineering and event management.

I mentored aspiring sound engineers by delivering comprehensive lectures on key subjects such as Pro Tools, audio technology, mathematics, and digital audio theory. My responsibilities included managing the learning environment website, which significantly improved resource accessibility.

I was responsible for delivering high-quality audio experiences during weekly services and producing engaging radio content. My collaboration with the production team led to enhanced sound quality, creating a more immersive worship environment. I developed technical skills in audio mixing and production software, which contributed to a seamless experience for attendees.

I contributed to the production of engaging audio content for which 5FM is famous. My role involved packaging jingles and creating high-quality voice-overs for prominent radio DJs, which significantly boosted listener engagement. Additionally, I recorded and edited street and telephone interviews, as well as several documentaries, ensuring that each piece was compelling and of the highest sound quality.

During the FIFA 2010 World Cup, I played a crucial role in providing audio description services for visually impaired spectators. By setting up a local broadcast rig at Soccer City stadium, I ensured that attendees received a seamless audio experience during matches, including the opening and final games. My commitment to inclusivity and collaboration with a diverse team helped create memorable experiences for all spectators.
