Book in Africa

Domain expert.
Platform builder. Standard setter.

I wrote Africa's first software testing book because when I started in quality engineering, there was no roadmap that looked like me. That absence became the mission.

Over a decade I founded Testify, now Testify Group, trained thousands of QA professionals across four continents and established two of the continent's most important quality engineering events, Africa Product Quality Engineering Conference (APQEC) and Nigeria Software Testing Week (NSTW).

Then I built Cycluno, an AI-powered testing platform born from living every inefficiency in this space firsthand. Not researched. Lived.

The thread through all of it: a conviction that Africa deserves world-class everything in its software, its infrastructure, and its people.
