About

I’m presently pursuing two Master of Science degrees in the Information School (iSchool) at Syracuse University, Information Management and Library and Information Science.

Prior to now, I generally did ‘business stuff’ – marketing, business development and operations management for a number of technology start-ups and a management consulting firm. I worked in organizations in the US and Nigeria, where I lived and worked for 2 years after being tasked with opening the firm’s West African office.

I reached a point where I had too many bouts with malaria and too many projects roadblocked by corruption. I wanted to go home. Unfortunately, they shut down the NYC office. Fortunately, I was granted some time to think. Guess what? I realized that I really did not like what I was doing.

Out of everything I used to do, I was most drawn to was working, researching, and analyzing information.

Now instead of working on it here and there, I am doing it full time. I am immersed completely – taking Data Mining and Information Design classes, working on an eScience and Cyberinfrastructure initiative, and exploring ways to make a data science degree at the iSchool.

I could not be any happier than I am right now.

OK now the obligatory, quirky blog statement:

This is my blog. I love hot sauce. I won’t write about breakthrough personal development coaching. Or physics. Or how to make $5,000 in one week through SEO strategies, affiliate marketing, and multi-level marketing. If you are looking for cheap pharmaceuticals or if your distant aunt, uncle, grandparent or other unknown familial relation has died, left you millions and all you need to do to collect the booty is Western Union someone $10,000, this isn’t the place for you.

Thanks for stopping by!
