Ade Adeagbo
Customer success → founder → engineer, now building edge ML systems and moving into technical product ownership.
I like to build products and services that work under pressure — I've learned the best solutions come from understanding both the technology and the people who use it.
Some things about me:
- I was an early employee at Paystack (acquired by Stripe)
- MS in Applied Economics
- Data and Machine Learning engineering background
- Experience working with early users in a high-growth environment
What drives me:
- Bridging the gap between business objectives and engineering delivery
- Partnering with people to get things done
- Keeping the train running
My path here wasn't linear. I've worked some jobs you won't find listed on my resume, including stints as a sports reporter in high school, baker's assistant, events organizer, public relations assistant, and soccer referee.
I am a student of markets, technology, and history.
Outside of work, I love football, art (personal favorites are modern Nigerian and American landscape paintings), Jazz, chess, and tennis. I've also committed to running two marathons every year.
Some things I've worked on:
- Founded an insurtech startup — assembled a team, secured two landmark partnership deals, built an enterprise API product, built two consumer apps, built an internal ops tool, ran out of runway
- Predicting Afrobeats Hit Songs with Spotify Data (this was pretty fun)
- VeeOhTracker — edge computer-vision system for trail usage metrics (roadmapped, milestone-driven)
- FCCatalyst — soccer analytics progressive action computer-vision system (WIP)
