Nigerian-American entrepreneur, software engineer and writer who lives near Boulder, Colorado with my wife and three sons. Studied Electronic Engineering at The University of Nigeria at Nsukka, and Computer Engineering at the Milwaukee School of Engineering. Co-founder of Fourthought, Inc. in 1998, which I ran until 2007, when I co-founded Zepheira. Leisure: martial arts (AKKI Kenpo), skateboarding, snowboarding, playing & coaching soccer, reading and writing poetry.
I discovered Python in 1996. At the time I was writing a lot of C++ for N-Tier applications on OS/2. I ran into REXX and immediately dug the more dynamic style. Then one day trying out Red Hat I ran into trouble with one of the built-in config tools, and right into my first Python Traceback. Without knowing anything about the language I was able to read the code an figure out the problem. The writer in me figured any language that readable was worth a closer look.
Python has been my main language for development since then, and I`ve written a ridiculous amount of code in the language, and perhaps a few lines here and there that were actually useful. I`m a PSF member and continuing Python advocate.
