Portrait of Philips ADEPOJU

Philips ADEPOJU

I build economic engines by day and protect innovations through offensive security by night. I'm currently building GFDIR.org. The playbook is simple: aggressive go-to-market, retention that sticks and ventures built personally. Stick around long enough, and we will celebrate a together.

What working with me is like

  • One reason I keep working with Ayo is the attention he pays to the little details. He doesn't just focus on getting things to work; he cares about how well they're built and how people experience them. He puts real thought into what he creates, and I genuinely respect that about him as a developer.

  • Every builder needs someone in their corner who gives honest, unfiltered feedback, and that’s exactly what Ayomide brings to the table. I still remember showing him my very first tech project. I could see the genuine pride on his face that I was building, mixed with the suppressed look that quietly said “Okay, this needs another go on the drawing board.” But instead of letting me get discouraged or stuck in endless perfectionism, he turned that feedback into a turning point, pushing me to focus on execution and real-world impact. Working alongside Ayomide as a peer in tech has been immensely valuable. He’s consistently been my go-to sounding board for critical advice and product sanity checks. His technical intuition, honest mentorship and relentless drive to help others ship make him an incredible collaborator and advisor to have in your corner.
