📖My Story
I studied at the Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA), graduating in Microbiology. Not the typical path into tech - but it gave me something most people underestimate: the discipline to learn anything from scratch and the analytical mindset to actually understand it.
I started my professional journey coordinating educational programs and administrative operations, then found my stride in email marketing and automation. Building Klaviyo flows, designing pixel-perfect templates in Figma, running A/B tests, managing client campaigns across e-commerce and real estate - this is where I built my core expertise.
Today I work as an Email Marketing Specialist and VA for clients globally, while also serving as Administrative and Research Support Specialist at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) in Ibadan. And on the side, I am expanding into AI automation, n8n, and the broader tech world.
Bytes by Charlie is where I document all of it - the marketing systems, the AI tools, the automation workflows, and the mindset shifts that come from being a builder at this particular moment in tech history.
