BREAKING: A Nigerian-American engineer and Harvard graduate, Yinka Ogunbiyi, has developed HaloBraid, described as the world’s first braid-assist robot designed to ease the physical strain on hairstylists and save time for salons.
The innovation had raised $7m and attracted more than 7,000 salons to its waitlist.

My phone reminded me of this journey through these photos.

Every time I see them, I pause.

In 2019, I decided to go all-in on machine learning. I was trained in power systems and control. Equations made sense. Physics made sense.

Neural networks did not.

A few months in, I started regretting the decision. The learning curve was brutal. Nothing worked the first time or the tenth.

But something kept pushing me forward.

That “something” pulled me into deep reinforcement learning for microgrid control where control theory meets uncertainty, and debugging feels like detective work at 2 AM.

Two years into the grind, we submitted my first paper.

Five months later, the reviews came back.

We had three months to respond.

That’s when things escalated.

I bought two additional computers to add to my existing two (hence the four laptops in the first picture) plus the lab desktop. I was training multiple agents simultaneously tuning hyperparameters, redesigning reward functions, rescaling states, monitoring convergence, analyzing frequency response all in parallel.

It felt like conducting an orchestra.

Some agents learned.
Others refused.

Just when I thought it was over, I had to validate everything on RTDS real-time digital simulation something that hadn’t been done in over 13 years at my school.

Back to learning, again 😂!

Few months later, I received the email:

Accepted.

Three years of confusion, debugging, and persistence distilled into one word.

Recently, my co-advisor shared that the paper is now recognized as an ESI Highly Cited Paper (top 1% by citations in its field and year globally).

I had to sit with that.

Because I remember the nights nothing converged. The months where progress felt invisible.

This journey taught me something bigger than reinforcement learning:

Mastery begins with discomfort.
Growth hides inside frustration.
And sometimes the real breakthrough is simply the decision not to quit.

If you’re in your own season of “nothing is working,” keep going.

You may be closer than you think. Do not give up!

Yesterday I matriculated into the University of Oxford, studying for a Masters in Law and Finance.

Ten years ago, I was a proper “Aba” boy, operating my father’s grinding machine at a local market. Today I am at the Oxford University. Dear dreamer, it is possible!

Hi @nokia 💙
Growing up in Nigeria, Nokia wasn’t just a brand; it was part of our everyday lives. It represented connection, reliability, affordability, and innovation long before those became global buzzwords.

Now, as a Master’s student in Governance of Digitalization at @AboAkademi,ttur I’m exploring how technology, data, and policy can drive inclusive digital transformation, something Nokia continues to champion worldwide.

I’d be delighted to contribute through an internship or research collaboration, bringing a fresh governance perspective to ensure digital systems remain ethical, accessible, and impactful.

Working with Nokia would not only be a personal achievement but also a reminder to the average African child that they can dream boldly and reach higher.
After all, what better way to connect people than by inspiring the next generation to believe in what’s possible?

I’m thrilled to share that I’ve been awarded a fully funded Msc scholarship at the University of Edinburgh, UK to pursue a Master’s degree in Africa and International Development.

Sponsored by @MastercardFdn ❤️.

• From empowering over 20,000 children and youth with disabilities through @raisingstaraf to transforming access to education and inclusion in Nigeria, our journey has been driven by God’s divine purpose and guidance. We have engaged diverse national and international stakeholders such as Mastercard Foundation, OneYoungWorld, U.S department of state, Mandela Washington Fellowship, University of Georgia, Wits Business School, etc.

• This opportunity will further strengthen my capacity to drive systems change: engaging global partners, influencing inclusive policies, and creating pathways for every child, irrespective of disability, to access education and equal economic opportunities.

• I am open to engaging diverse stakeholders in UK, Europe, and across the world as we continue to drive inclusion.

Today, Ejiofor arrived the UK to further his studies in Pharmacy at the University of Bath.

From UNN refusing to give him N50k award as the University Best Graduating Student to getting Commonwealth Scholarship of £33k which includes flight, accommodation, and monthly stipend.

The past 3 weeks was a lot of battle for him. He felt so ill to the point he almost passed out. We were in and out of the hospital severally but God saw him through.

My work with him is complete.

Although I will always be there whenever he needs me.

I wish him success in all his endeavors.

Cultural Shock I Faced as an International Student in the US

1. I was expecting most universities to have a specific entrance gate with security personnel and a university emblem or bam, like in Nigeria, but it was very different.

2. Language nuances were tricky. For example, when someone said “I would” regarding an issue I was facing, I initially thought they were offering to do something for me. Later, I realized it actually meant: “If I were you, I would…”

3. I used to say “nylon” when asking restaurants to pack my food, but here it was called a “paper bag.”

4. I was also used to calling my laptop a “system,” but that term didn’t make sense to Americans.

5. The first time someone used “they” to refer to a single person, I was confused and unsure about their gender. I soon learned it’s a common linguistic convention and has nothing to do with sexuality.

6. In my first semester, I was advised to take three courses. At first, I thought it was too few because in Nigeria we took six or seven courses per semester. However, I soon realized that three courses here were actually quite demanding due to the workload, weekly assignments, and participation expectations.

7. In Nigeria, most of our group assignments were coordinated via WhatsApp, but Americans use GroupMe for that. Adjusting to GroupMe and the expectation of frequent online communication was initially challenging.

8. As a literature student, most of the novels I read in Nigeria were photocopies due to limited access, but here I had access to many books in the library, online resources, and e-books.

9. The grading system was also a learning curve: I was used to a 70 being an A, but here an A starts in the 90s.ests and a final exam per semester.

10. It felt strange at first seeing students sitting on the floor at the corners of classrooms, chatting or studying. Sitting on the bare floor was unusual to me.

11. The orientation and documentation process was much more digitalized, with minimal carrying of physical files around campus.

12. Learning to navigate various learning platforms, submit assignments online, and attend virtual office hours became essential skills.

13. I was often asked if I had an interview because of my formal dressing in class, as casual dressing is the norm here.

14. For school events, being asked about dietary restrictions was quite new to me.

15. Being asked to provide the pronunciation of my name in writing was also a new experience.

16. The emphasis on mental health support felt unusual at first, but I gradually got used to it.

17. I was also surprised by interactions between students and professors, where addressing professors by their first names is normal. I had to adjust by using “Sir” and “Ma” less often.

18. The concept of office hours and proactively seeking help from professors was very different from my previous experience; I had to learn to take initiative in asking questions and clarifying doubts.

19. Academic integrity and plagiarism rules were stricter.

20. I would love to hear from you: What was the biggest cultural shock you experienced as an international student in the U.S. or another country? Please share your experiences, I would love to learn from your stories!

In the background of this photo is the President of the Purdue Graduate Student Government. One day, I will definitely talk about the strides she has made, the progress she is making, and the power of goal setting and realizing it.
