About · Interests

The rest of the person

A digital platform that only shows the billable version of someone is not an identity record. These are the interests that make the professional work make sense.

What he is drawn to

Twelve threads

Gospel and Christian music

Music is not background to his life. Gospel and Christian music is where his musical attention lives.

The piano

Playing and exploring music at the piano — a practice, not a performance claim.

Writing

Essays, reflections and notes. He describes writing as his hobby; it is also the way he thinks.

Spoken word

Poetry performed, including in Pidgin — a developing creative practice documented as it happens.

Technology

Not tools for their own sake: what they make possible for people who did not have access before.

Artificial intelligence

AI as a collaborator, an amplifier and a thing to be understood clearly rather than feared or worshipped.

Entrepreneurship

Building businesses that can fund the work that matters, and doing it in Africa, on African terms.

Language

Studying Linguistics; learning languages; the way a language changes what a person can do.

Education

Digital skills as access, especially for people whose only computer is a phone.

Human development

The slow work of becoming: discipline, mindset, consistency, purpose.

Faith

Central, not decorative. See Faith & Philosophy for the detail.

Creativity

Making things that did not exist before, in whatever medium the idea needs.

In his own words
“Music is my life, writing is my hobby, humanity is my goal and God is my everything.”

This line has been his own description of himself, and it is kept here exactly as he put it.

The interests above are not a list of hobbies appended to a CV. They are the reason the work exists: technology in service of human development, creativity as a way of thinking, and faith as the frame around both.
