About
I'm Tony, a Nigerian engineer based in Gumi, South Korea. I have shipped fintech, insurance, betting and compliance platforms for 9+ years, founded Joypinness Technologies, and I'm now a PhD researcher at Kumoh National Institute of Technology.
Away from the keyboard I'm usually at a different one. Years of singing tenor and leading a church choir are why this site keeps time at 120 bpm and names its pages in solfa. Turn the sound on and press a key.
