Hi, I'm Timonwa Akintokun.
I'm a software engineer, DevRel engineer, and independent builder based in Lagos, Nigeria. I build developer tools, digital products, templates, and educational resources for people working on the web.
Over the years, my work has evolved across software engineering, developer education, technical writing, and developer relations. These days, I spend most of my time building products, experimenting with ideas, and creating practical resources that help developers and creators work better.
I currently work in Developer Relations at IQ, where I help developers build with AI agents and explore agent tokenization technologies. Alongside that, I freelance as a software engineer and actively build independent projects and tools.
A big part of my journey started through writing. I spent years creating tutorials, guides, documentation, and educational content that made technical concepts easier to understand. While writing is no longer the center of my work, it still shapes how I build, communicate, and think about developer experience.
Recently, I've become more interested in creating smaller, practical products:
- developer tools,
- templates,
- productivity resources,
- starter projects,
- and software that solves focused problems well.
I enjoy building things that are useful, simple, and easy to use.
Outside of work, I share notes about what I'm learning, what I'm building, and the experiments I'm running through my blog and newsletter . My content usually explores web development, AI tooling, productivity, developer workflows, and the realities of building independently on the internet.
I'm also slowly returning to speaking and community conversations after taking a step back for a while. These days, I'm especially interested in conversations around:
- building products publicly,
- developer tooling,
- DevRel,
- technical education,
- AI-assisted workflows,
- and growing into independent software businesses.
At the core of everything I do is one simple thing:
I like building useful things and sharing what I learn along the way.
