I build the operational software schools depend on — parent messaging, timetabling, and the day-to-day systems that keep an institution running. I work between Benin City, Nigeria and Porto Alegre, Brazil.
I publish and am also widely known as Joan Urevbu — my maiden name.
My work lives in the unglamorous middle of education — the systems that decide whether a parent gets the message, whether a register is correct, whether a multi-campus school can run its term without its spreadsheets quietly collapsing. I care about that layer because it is where a school's trust is actually won or lost.
SMS messaging pipelines that deliver school updates reliably to thousands of families, engineered for places where data is scarce and connectivity is intermittent.
Timetabling, teaching-assignment, and daily-logistics tools that help schools run a term without falling back on fragile spreadsheets.
Essays on building technology for African classrooms, low-bandwidth design, and the long work of institutional trust.
