Physician by training (MBBS, University of Ilorin) and holder of a Master of Public Administration in Healthcare Policy & Administration from the Bush School of Government and Public Service at Texas A&M University. Based in Houston and originally from Lagos, Nigeria, I began in clinical practice before moving into health operations, policy, informatics, and software. The consistent thread has been understanding why health systems function—or fail—at the point of care, whether in the United States or in Nigeria.
In the United States, I currently serve as a Clinical Documentation Specialist at Accompany Health, a value-based primary care organization. My responsibilities center on pre-visit chart review, HCC risk-adjustment documentation, and real-time guidance for clinical teams. In parallel, I provide contract clinical subject-matter expertise to Mercor, supporting AI research labs with the evaluation and refinement of medical decision-making models. Previously, I led a clinical informatics team at Oak Street Health in Houston and contributed to multiple Epic and Cerner go-live implementations across health systems. Across these roles, my present work increasingly centers on agentic workflow orchestration—designing how clinical teams, EHR systems, and AI agents hand work back and forth to produce better documentation, earlier risk identification, and lower cognitive burden at the point of care.
Alongside this, I maintain an active involvement in Nigerian health-system infrastructure. This includes advisory work on digital-health readiness, training, and strategy for healthcare organizations in Nigeria and across Africa. I am also developing the Nigeria Pharmacy Registry, an open and progressively verified database that currently maps approximately 6,900 dispensing locations and is designed to complement the roles of PCN and NAFDAC. In addition, I am iterating on a lightweight FHIR-based electronic medical record system intended for single-practitioner clinics in low-resource settings. Earlier, I served as a NESG BRIDGE Fellow (Class of 2021) and contributed as technical assistant to the Health & Nutrition working group for Nigeria’s Medium-Term National Development Plan 2021–2025. I remain engaged with the NESG Community of Practice on Human Capital.
My research and writing have focused on applied challenges in global health. I co-authored a white paper with the Scowcroft Institute of International Affairs at Texas A&M University that examined COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy and offered policy recommendations for pandemic response in sub-Saharan Africa, drawing on case studies from Nigeria, Kenya, and South Africa. Additional case studies and shorter pieces are archived on this site.
I am in the early stages of shaping a virtual-first leadership development platform for Nigerian healthcare workers—the kind of structured support I wished had existed when I first stepped from clinical practice into systems-level work.
I trained at the University of Ilorin and at Texas A&M University, where I was a George Bush Fellowship recipient and served as a Bush Board Fellow with a local nonprofit. In my work I regularly use Epic, Cerner, Athenahealth, and custom EMR platforms; standards such as FHIR (R4), SMART on FHIR, HL7, USCDI, ICD-10-CM, CPT, and CMS HCC V28; data tools including SQL, Tableau, STATA, and SPSS; and cloud environments across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
