Tobi is a tech genius! That's what I call him, and I mean it in every sense. With a background in Engineering, he went on to develop himself into a full-stack Software Engineer in less than 2 years. I am so lucky to have him work with us at Wadi Africa as our CTO, for he was so instrumental in helping us win the Most Innovative Startup of the Year at the Nigerian University of Technology and Management (Cohort 2).
