Olúmáyòwá Akinkuehinmi

I am Olumayowa Akinkuehinmi, an all-around tech enthusiast with a diverse and extensive background in network engineering and DevOps. I began my career as an Access Network Engineer, where I was deeply involved in enterprise connectivity and network security.

My passion for technology led me to the Submarine Optical Network sector, where I received advanced training at the Ciena Learning Lab in London and the SubSea Optical Networking Engineering Summer School, co-founded by Google and Optica, in Finland. I have led deployments at four Subsea Cable landing stations across West Africa and Portugal as a Senior SubSea Network Engineer. In this role, I oversaw deployments for major providers such as Google, Meta, Microsoft, Orange, Sonatel, MTN GlobalConnect, and BBC, facilitating the seamless transfer of their traffic between data centers in West Africa and Europe.

After a successful stint in the subsea sector, I transitioned to DevOps at Engage Messaging, where I continue to apply my expertise. In addition, I am dedicated to nurturing the next generation of tech talent through TechPeak Lab, which I founded to provide aspiring techies with the resources and guidance they need to succeed.
