Software Developer, Final Year Engineering Student & Athlete

Hey, I'm Ariyo! I am a 22 y/o final year software engineering student at MUK with a passion for building things that live on the internet. I love to solve problems through code and this website is a little testament of my work.

When I'm not facing a laptop screen, you'll find me in the pool - I represent both my university and Uganda at national competitions. I also do some modeling on the side. And yeah, I'm always vibing to something while I code (check out what's playing in the bottom right!).
