Building startups, growing teams, and putting smiles on people's faces
I'm Isaac Williams Oladele, a Lagos-based software engineer and entrepreneur with over 12 years of experience working with engineers from over 30 countries. I describe myself as a "digital nomad" who loves building startups, working and growing in teams, and creating products that make a difference.
I wrote my first program at 16 and was recognized as an Outstanding Personality in Education for teaching students web development. My career includes eight years at Fireflies.ai, where I worked as an individual contributor and later as a tech lead developing natural-language-processing and voice-intelligence features.
I've led engineering teams at multiple startups, founded Fuddle.ai (an AI-powered nutrition assistant), and now focus on building Suncture.io to redefine medical care. I serve as President of Viroke Technologies Inc., a venture studio that engineers possibilities.
I build products that solve real problems and bring joy to users. Whether it's:
- Healthcare Innovation: Building AI-powered platforms like Suncture.io to make medical care more accessible
- Team Building: Working with talented engineers from around the world to create scalable solutions
- Startup Development: Founding and growing companies that make a positive impact
- Mentorship: Sharing knowledge and helping others grow in their careers
- Community Impact: Supporting initiatives like Influence Africa that empower communities
I believe technology should be a force for good—connecting people, solving real problems, and creating opportunities for everyone, regardless of where they're from.
My vision is a world where:
- Healthcare is accessible to everyone, regardless of location or economic status
- Entertainment drives positive change and heals communities (as with Floor 27th)
- Technology empowers rather than divides, bringing people together (like DineHeart)
- Opportunities are global, allowing talent from anywhere to contribute and thrive
- Startups solve real problems that improve people's lives, not just chase trends
- Teams work collaboratively across borders, cultures, and time zones with respect and understanding
I'm committed to building products and teams that put smiles on people's faces while creating sustainable, meaningful impact.
These three values guide everything I do:
Life is about harmony—between work and rest, ambition and contentment, innovation and stability. I believe in sustainable growth, both personally and professionally. Great products and great teams come from people who are well-rested, fulfilled, and energized.
Honesty, transparency, and doing the right thing—even when it's hard. I build trust through consistent actions, clear communication, and ethical decision-making. Every line of code, every team interaction, and every business decision should reflect this commitment.
Love for the craft, love for the people we work with, and love for the problems we're solving. When we genuinely care about what we're building and who we're building it for, the work becomes meaningful and the results speak for themselves.
When working with me or contributing to projects I'm involved with, I expect:
- Respect: Treat everyone with dignity, regardless of their background, experience level, or perspective
- Inclusion: Welcome diverse voices and actively work to create spaces where everyone can contribute
- Kindness: Assume good intentions and communicate with empathy
- Excellence: Strive for quality in everything we do, while understanding that perfection is a journey
- Collaboration: Work together, share knowledge, and lift each other up
- Harassment, discrimination, or exclusionary behavior of any kind
- Personal attacks, trolling, or inflammatory comments
- Sharing private information without consent
- Any conduct that could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a professional setting
Violations of this code of conduct may result in removal from projects, teams, or communities. I'm committed to creating safe, welcoming environments for everyone.
I welcome contributions that align with our values and help us build better products. Here's how to get involved:
- Start Small: Begin with documentation, bug fixes, or small improvements
- Communicate First: For significant changes, reach out to discuss your approach
- Follow Standards: Maintain code quality, write tests, and document your work
- Be Patient: Building great things takes time—we value thoughtful contributions over rushed ones
- Clear Purpose: Your contribution should solve a real problem or add meaningful value
- Well-Documented: Code should be self-explanatory, with comments where needed
- Tested: Include tests for new features or bug fixes
- Respectful: Follow the code of conduct in all interactions
- Explore the codebase and understand the project structure
- Check existing issues or create a new one to discuss your idea
- Fork the repository and create a branch for your work
- Make your changes following the project's coding standards
- Submit a pull request with a clear description of what you've done and why
If you're unsure about anything, don't hesitate to reach out. I believe in fostering a collaborative environment where questions are welcome and learning is encouraged.
