About
Founder & Full-Stack Software Engineer
Built with nothing but a mobile phone, limited data, and a stubborn refusal to quit, Ibrahim Akanni Ahmad taught himself software engineering, design, and writing one slow-loading page at a time. What started as a small agency delivering client sites in 48 hours grew into an ecosystem: Novella Matrix, Aelia AI, SeaChat, and Akode — spanning software, AI, communication, and free education, all built from Lagos & Imo State, Nigeria.
Experience
Novella Matrix — Lagos, Nigeria (Remote)
Founded and built an ecosystem of products spanning software engineering, AI, communication, and publishing — from concept to production, largely solo.
Started Novella Matrix as a small agency delivering client websites in 48 hours or less, then grew it into a platform with its own deployment engine, domain marketplace, and AI layer. Went on to found Aelia AI, SeaChat, and Akode as standalone products under the same ecosystem — handling architecture, engineering, design, and client relationships directly.
Education
Learned to code, design, and write on a mobile phone before ever owning a laptop — while balancing full-time university studies.
No bootcamp, no mentor on call — just search, tutorials, and repetition, one slow-loading page at a time. Everything used to build the Novella Matrix ecosystem was learned this way, alongside a full course of university study.
