Aside from epic architecture, design & coding talent, Oladele's a natural, persuasive leader, and an excellent coach and driver of the adoption of new technology and practices.

I worked with Ola for a few months as an AI engineer and of course Product manager. I think I did a whole lot of learning during our time working together, and it was directly tied to Ola's influence on me as a fellow engineer, and his influence over the team.

My team was in the middle of transitioning our service into a more modern tech stack — where most of the concepts were new to me personally, as well as a new space for the team. Ola shared his knowledge of web development fundamentals, best practices on how to implement telemetry and other aspects of our service more efficiently, and he took the time to mentor me through basics of React, JavaScript, Nest js, and improving performance of our the system we had been working on at the time. He also demonstrated impact in our team very well, and very quickly. He always focuses on doing things well and right for the customer
