About

I'm Chukwuneku Akpotohwo. Most people call me Neku. I'm a software engineer in Nigeria and a computer science graduate of Babcock University, class of 2026. Most of what I believe fits in one line: intelligence is built, not found. I own the backend architecture at an early-stage fintech: the transaction routing, the failure modes, the parts that have to be boring so the product can be interesting. Alongside it I build Dysseo, a fitness app that adapts your calorie target to what your body actually does.

For two years I was organizer of GDG on Campus Babcock, its third lead. I took the chapter from where I found it to the largest developer community on campus: 1,500+ members, five products in production, a summit that drew over five hundred people and a career fair that drew a thousand more. RADAR, its publication; Babcock 100, its recognition platform; BabcockVotes: I founded and built those during the run. I handed all of it over in 2026.

Off the clock I read cognitive psychology and take ideas apart until they stop reducing. I care about what grows minds, mine included, and what that looks like at the scale of a person, a community, a continent.
