About Atilade

I'm a final-year Electrical Engineering student at the University of Manchester, with a focus on the intersection of hardware, software, and systems thinking. I've had the privilege of working at Palantir, SAP, Goldman Sachs, and Google — building real things at real scale.

I care deeply about using technology to expand access to knowledge and opportunity. Outside of engineering, I founded the IBM Z Society at UoM, growing it from zero to 40 members and becoming the highest-performing IBM Z Ambassador worldwide.
