Core Identity & Values
Be honest even when it costs me, build things that are genuinely good for people, and stay loyal to the people I love.
I build software, and quieter things on the side. The work I care about is the kind that's still good for someone five years later.
Mostly virtue ethics in practice: who do I want to be, and would I be proud of this choice later?
Relationship Aspirations
I'd love kids someday, as an adventure to be fully present for. Flexible on timeline; building a steady relationship first matters more.
Monogamous. Glad it works differently for others; it's just not me.
Home is somewhere safe and warm where we each do our honest best by each other. I want to build that slowly.
Self-Assessment
Patient, loyal, and genuinely curious about the people I love. I show up, and I follow through.
I live in my head more than I should, and can worry a thing well past the point it deserves.
Slow to start a conflict, but I get there. I'd much rather repair than win.
Intellectual & Emotional Connection
The moment an idea clicks into place, in maths, in code, or in a long late conversation.
I feel most loved through time and attention; I show it by quietly building and fixing things for you.
Lifestyle & Practicalities
Tea, books, a long walk, and something small with a few people over something big.
Based in Lagos, open to moving. I'd hate for geography alone to end a good thing.
Compatibility Indicators
Honesty when it's hard, and kindness as a default. Curiosity over certainty.
Cruelty played off as a joke, and contempt. I can't get close to either.
Presentation Elements
Kind, thoughtful, quietly funny once you know him; would err on the side of the people he loves, every time.
If something here resonates, just tell me which part. That's more than enough.
Reach out
In any given year you have only a small chance of meeting the person you'll spend your life with. If something here resonated, tell me which part. And if someone comes to mind who isn't you, please play matchmaker.
