03 — Personal memory operating system

Kroniku

How should a computer remember a life?

Kroniku fuses the scattered signals of daily life into coherent memory, so people can remember with confidence.

A useful memory is more than a timestamp. It connects the place, the moment, the people, the evidence, and what happened next.

04 — Nigeria-first detective game

NaijaChase.

A crime happens.
The thief runs.
You follow the clues.

A clue-driven mystery across Nigeria. Follow the clues across the country and make the right arrest.

Question witnesses, decode local knowledge, and explore Nigeria by deduction—not quizzes. Pidgin, street logic, and familiar local humour make every chase feel at home.

Notes on the way I build

From retrieval pipelines to wallet interfaces and APIs.

I. / AI systems

Ground
the model.

LLMs are most useful when retrieval, context, and evaluation are treated as product work.

II. / Systems

Make it
legible.

Good APIs, data visualisations, and interfaces turn complex systems into clear decisions.

III. / Shipping

Stay close
to users.

Turn ideas and architecture into software that earns its place in daily life.
