About

S. Teniola Ajayi has spent more than 20 years, across three continents, working out how systems behave by building, testing and rebuilding them. That work has taken him through technology, media production, energy, telecommunications, manufacturing and education. Today he helps organisations build practical AI systems that hold up in the real world, and he’s candid when a project isn’t the right fit. He holds a BA in Economics from Auburn University and an MSc in Management (Software Technology) from Swansea University, and lives in Nashville, Tennessee.

Outside work, he reads widely, especially history, biography and long-form fantasy and science fiction. He’s partial to sprawling, carefully built worlds like The Lord of the Rings, The Wheel of Time and the Malazan Book of the Fallen, and to Star Trek’s brand of curiosity. He’s also a longtime player of strategy and simulation games, from SimCity to Civilization, and enjoys multiple genres of music.
