Hi, I'm Bolu. I'm an engineer and an author. I love building systems, making 3D environments, and reading. Below is a tour of some of my work: six projects across five domains. Each follows the same discipline, the baseline, the build, and the result. Jump to any of them, or read the map first.

EPMS COMMISSIONING FOR HYPERSCALE DATA CENTERS

BASELINE

An EPMS commissioning program brings owners, general contractors, trade partners, and the commissioning authority together around a single outcome: clean energization. Without a governing framework for readiness, turnover criteria drift, risks surface late, and stakeholder confidence erodes exactly when the schedule is least forgiving.

WHAT I'M BUILDING

  • The commissioning excellence system: gap registers, readiness checklists, and reusable templates, hardened with every turnover
  • Scaling the playbook as the program ramps, so each new phase starts from a stronger baseline

RESULT

A program where every stakeholder works from the same definition of ready. Milestones stay predictable, turnover is clean, and the playbook compounds across different projects.

BOLU.MEDIA: FREELANCE MARKETPLACE FOR PHOTOGRAPHY AND DESIGN

BASELINE

Photography and design freelancers need a marketplace built for how they actually work and get paid. A generic platform with a new logo does not cut it.

WHAT I'M BUILDING

  • Taking the public prototype at bolu.media to a production build: profiles, job posts, proposals, contracts, messaging, and payments
  • Payments through Paystack and Flutterwave plug-in points, with authenticator-app MFA securing every account at signup and each login

RESULT

A working platform with the trust and safety basics in place, built toward launch.

PERSONAL PROJECT · 2026

CUSTOM RSS IMPORT ENGINE FOR CIS455.XYZ

BASELINE

A previous RSS news aggregator crashed and was abandoned. Keeping it alive by hand was too much for one person, and generic importers pulled in off-topic content.

WHAT I'M BUILDING

  • A custom import engine on a schedule: every source passes through a vocabulary gate, forty terms across the data center taxonomy, before anything is imported
  • Taxonomy automation that keeps WordPress categories consistent

RESULT

An aggregator that runs itself and stays on topic without daily attention.

REAL-TIME 3D ENVIRONMENTS IN UNREAL ENGINE

BASELINE

Ideas for spaces are cheap. Navigable ones are not: lighting, scale, and atmosphere have to be built, not described.

WHAT I'M BUILDING

  • Real-time 3D environments in Unreal Engine, rendered on an RTX 4080
  • Current study: a fan-made Scout Motors Traveler SUV, eleven part files assembled in Blender, personal use only

RESULT

A growing body of navigable work, collected on the Unreal Engine page.

AUTHOR · 2021 – NOW

ALL THAT AVAILS IS FLIGHT, A NOVEL IN PROGRESS

BASELINE

A first novel has to earn every page: a boy, a single airport sighting, and a dream of flight, told honestly.

WHAT I'M WRITING

  • A literary coming-of-age novel, ninety to a hundred thousand words in plan, drafted chapter by chapter
  • First-person past tense, mid-1960s America, a cross-racial mentorship written without flinching

RESULT

Intended publication: May 2027. A book to inspire dreamers and children for generations.

ALREADY PUBLISHEDIdeas on the Ideal Man

A thought-provoking collection of essays challenging men to rise to biblical manhood: purpose, integrity, and service to God and others. Published March 2025.

YOUVERSION BIBLE APP · VOLUNTEER · TECHNICAL SUPPORT

SERVING THE YOUVERSION COMMUNITY

BASELINE

YouVersion puts the Bible in the hands of a global community, people trying to get closer to God. When the app breaks for a reader, it interrupts that pursuit. Support has to be fast, accurate, and human.

WHAT I'M BUILDING

  • Offer technical support to app users: diagnosing issues, walking people through fixes, and making sure no one is left stuck
  • Fix bugs in the app experience, so nothing stands between a reader and their time with God

RESULT

Readers stay close to God without interruption, supported by people who care about the product and the mission behind it.
