Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolOtobong I is an independent researcher and technologist based in Nigeria with eight years of experience at the intersection of geopolitics, media, and web technologies. He combines policy and geostrategic analysis with practical IT skills—ranging from PHP and WordPress development to data visualization—to translate complex research into accessible outputs. His work includes peace and conflict studies research, contributions to Afripolitika, and hands-on roles that improved website performance and user engagement, including a 40% traffic increase during a university site overhaul. Comfortable switching between code and commentary, he has built bespoke web systems and optimized loading times while also producing policy-relevant analysis for international audiences. Currently pursuing postgraduate studies in Peace Studies and Conflict Resolution, he brings an Afrocentric lens to security and media analysis that informs both his research and technical projects. He’s a lifelong learner who cheekily notes he’ll keep learning “as long as tigers remain predators,” reflecting a pragmatic curiosity and resilience.
