About Me
Hi, I'm Timonwa Akintokun.
I'm a Software Engineer, Technical Writer, and DevRel Engineer who enjoys building reliable software, writing to clarify complex ideas, and creating practical resources for technical and non-technical audiences.
Over the past few years, I've worked on web applications, written technical documentation, and supported developer communities. I currently work as a DevRel Engineer at IQ, where I help developers build with AI agents and explore agent tokenization.
Outside of work, I spend time building personal projects, writing about what I'm learning, and experimenting with ideas across code, productivity, and creativity.
