About Me
The future belongs to those who are willing to take bold steps and embrace uncertainty.
My Story
Welcome, I'm Olu Bolarinwa, a software engineer with over 15 years of experience turned entrepreneur. I am passionate about creating innovative solutions and empowering others through technology. This platform serves as a space where I share my journey and the valuable lessons I've learned along the way.
As a lead software engineer, I successfully migrated legacy monolithic applications to distributed applications in AWS. I orchestrated data model changes from a relational database to NoSQL to enhance the application's performance and scalability and facilitated a transition to a serverless architecture. One of the key achievements was enabling independent deployability for each micro application and incorporating cross-region failover capabilities, which further enhanced the application's resilience and availability.
As an entrepreneur, I have had the experience of creating two start-ups that unfortunately did not succeed. The first was called Mighty Buzzwords, a word game, and the second was PaerMe, a professional networking application. However, despite these failures, the lessons I learned from these ventures have been precious. I have used these insights to assist others in avoiding the same mistakes I made while working on my current start-up.
Customer Centricity
Seeking to deeply understand the needs and pain points of their target customers. They prioritize customer feedback and actively engage with their target market to continuously refine their product or service.
Validated Learning
A focus on learning from real-world data and experimentation. Seeking to test assumptions, measure results, and gain insights that inform decision-making, enabling them to pivot or persevere based on evidence rather than assumptions.
Agility and Adaptability
Entrepreneurs in the lean startup methodology are adaptable and embrace change. They respond to market feedback, adjust their strategies, and make informed decisions based on the latest information available. They recognize that agility is essential in the face of uncertainty and evolving market conditions.
