About Me
Prospective PhD Student - Educational Technology
Hello, I'm Tobi, an IT project manager and business consultant based in Canada 🇨🇦. I have been working within the technology space for over 9 years. Currently, I work as a senior consultant with the Government of Nova Scotia, leading the digitization and enhancement of its Adult Education programs. Previously, I worked with Dalhousie University, where I developed academic reporting systems.
In addition to my consultancy work, I am building a startup focused on educational technology. The company aims to revolutionize online learning by integrating cutting-edge technology to provide practical, hands-on learning experiences. Our vision is to bridge the gap between theory and practice through advanced human-computer interaction techniques.
I hold a Master's degree in Information Technology Management from American Intercontinental University, where I specialized in enterprise architecture and project management.
I'm passionate about leveraging technology to create effective and innovative learning experiences. In my free time, you can find me playing or watching soccer, or trying to play the perfect tune on my guitar.

Projects
As a technology-driven professional with over 10 years of experience in the IT sector, I have been involved in numerous innovative projects that leverage advanced technologies to enhance educational experiences. My work spans the development of intelligent systems, the digitization of educational programs, and the creation of comprehensive digital curricula. These projects reflect my commitment to using cutting-edge technology to drive educational innovation, improve accessibility, and provide practical, hands-on learning opportunities. Below are some of the key projects I have undertaken, showcasing my expertise and dedication to advancing the field of educational technology.
Developing a Next-Generation Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS) Framework for SkillConnect
At SkillConnect, I am spearheading the development of a cutting-edge Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS) framework to revolutionize online learning. Leveraging advanced AI algorithms and machine learning, it creates adaptive, personalized learning environments. Integrating state-of-the-art human-computer interaction (HCI) methodologies and big data analytics, the ITS dynamically adjusts to each student's learning patterns. Incorporating virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) elements, the system provides immersive, hands-on experiences. Utilizing technologies like Python, TensorFlow, PyTorch, JavaScript, React, and Unity, this initiative exemplifies my commitment to driving educational innovation.
Architecting a Digital Training Curriculum Framework for EmpowerEd Nova Scotia
As a senior volunteer for EmpowerEd Nova Scotia, I designed a digital training curriculum to equip learners with digital literacy and advanced IT skills. Using cloud-based technologies, gamification, and data analytics, the curriculum offers flexible, engaging training. Virtual labs and simulation software provide practical experiences.
