Introducing Snake of Òrìṣà: my debut interactive game installation!
I rebuilt the classic Snake game but made it voice-controlled and only playable in Yorùbá.
Why voice-controlled?
Because not everyone is able to play with a handheld controller - accessibility shouldn't be an afterthought when it comes to who gets to enjoy gaming.
Why Yoruba?
Despite being spoken by tens of millions of people across the world, there was no ready-made Yorùbá speech recognition model I could use. No real representation in gaming even though Nigerians are globally some of the highest mobile gaming consumers. No public voice dataset of our speech in any African language. No supported API. So I had to train one from scratch. The first time it's ever been done for gaming.
Because if a language isn’t present in the data, it isn’t present in the future of AI.
In this game, the snake only moves if you pronounce the words properly. Not simplified. Not westernised. You meet the language where it is.
Exhibiting this game publicly for the first time was beautiful. Seeing all the engagement and questions from people of different races. Different backgrounds. All learning Yoruba in real time...through play.
That’s the power of intentional technology.
We often talk about AI as a threat to culture (undeniably in many ways it is), but it can also do the opposite.
When designed intentionally, it becomes a gateway - a fun and exploratory way to encounter an indigenous language. A tool for preservation. A tool for curiosity. A tool for education.
I hope this game serves as an approach and inspiration of the importance of inclusive AI and building representative technology. Thank you to everyone who contributed towards training the model, those who confidently played my game, giving feedback, showing love and @blacklinesofcode@ebonixsims for providing a safe space for me to exhibit!
Shoutout to my ancestors, I hope you're proud! 😝

Parents, this one's for you 🤍
I get asked a lot: "What does an engineer actually do?"
Engineers are the people who figure out how things work, and then make them work better. The bridge that doesn't fall down. The app on your phone. The plane you flew on last holiday. The hospital equipment keeping someone's loved one alive.
Engineering is problem-solving at its most real. And the best part? It comes in every shape. There is a version of engineering for almost every kind of curious mind ✨
Save this to share with a parent who needs it. And follow @aviateher for more 💜

We are currently obsessed with the Winter Olympics ⛷️
And there's no better moment to shine a light on the engineering involved behind the scenes to help the athletes perform at their best
If you love sport, tech or figuring out how things work, this is what engineering looks like in the real world ✨

Still smiling about this one 😊
I’ve been nominated (again!) for the Innovation Champion Award at the Black Tech Achievement Awards UK 2026. Grateful doesn’t even cover it. Thank you to @raphaelsofoluke and the @btaawards team for making this award possible. Giving techies like myself an inclusive space to truly shine and thrive 💐
And it feels extra special sharing this on International Day of Women and Girls in Science. Representation in tech and science isn’t just important - it’s necessary. The more visible we are, the more possible it becomes for the next generation.
Here's a dump of some cute tech moments! Scroll to the end for a sneak peek of my latest "innovation", my game Snake of Òrìşà where I created the worlds first ever Yoruba AI voice recognition model from SCRATCH ahhh (I know absolute madness I'm still crying internally from the stress but there was no voice model in Yoruba available anywhere - this is why we need more African AI engineers) using the transfer learning technique through MobileNet/SpeechCommand 18W (pre-trained base model)
Using my new model, I made a voice controlled version of the popular mobile retro game, Snake! Speak up down left right in Yoruba to move the snake to eat its food! Why? Because not everyone can use a handheld controller and I'm tired of games not being accessible. Also not everyday English in games, sometimes speak an African language and why not in a fun educational way hehe 🤭
Shoutout to my girl @ikari_bby for absolutely killing it & getting the high score (and learning how to say "down" in Yoruba in the process)! Thank you to everyone who tried my beta test at @blacklinesofcode I'll make a special post dedicated to the game soon ❤️
Here’s to building, creating, and opening doors for more women and girls in STEM 💜✨
Today I specially honour the tech baddie @francesca_cutecircuit for being a true inspiration to me, such an honour to rep you and your brand on stages and in classrooms - do you see those kids reactions?! We've got work to do ❤️✨

Had the honour of being part of the Royal Academy of Engineering’s This is Engineering campaign as an Engineering Champion 🛠️✨
The goal was simple, but powerful:
to help young people see what engineering can be and know there’s space for them in it 🌍💡
That experience made me pause and reflect on my own journey.
The rejections. ❌
The isolation. 🚧
The lack of visibility early on even while progressing through merit, talent, and experience.📈
I’ve always loved engineering, especially automotive and motorsport 🏎️⚙️
Yet too often, the path forward felt unclear and lonely.
Now in a position to use my lived experience, knowledge, and hard-won lessons to put the ladder down and keep it down 🪜🤝
Being in rooms full of incredible engineers, sharing stories and learning how to use storytelling and social media for impact, was a powerful reminder:
representation matters. ✨
stories matter. 📣
and real change happens when we stop gatekeeping and start inviting people in.

Not all STEM paths look the same ✨
I didn't do an apprenticeship but they're an amazing way to gain experience, make industry connections and fast-track your career, all whilst being paid!
If you're thinking about your next step in STEM, remember there is no one right path 🤍
Follow your engineering bestie @aviateher for encouragement and advice 🙋🏽♀️
