Welcome to my world
I’m a food scientist and product manager in Kano, Nigeria. I turn agricultural surplus into valuable products and build digital tools that reduce food waste.
Services
Turning sweet potatoes into glucose syrup through enzymatic processing and process optimisation.
→From strategy documents and PRDs to wireframes and agile sprints, taking ideas to working products.
→Wireframes and UX flows for apps like FoodLife Saver, SpendWise and SafeKids.
→I’m pursuing an M.Sc. in Food Science and Technology at Bayero University Kano, and I hold a B.Sc. degree. My work sits where food science, sustainability and technology meet.
I believe in the circular economy: waste from one stage should become the raw material for the next. That idea guides my lab work, my product design and my fashion pursuits.
Research
My M.Sc. research converts local sweet potatoes into glucose syrup, adding value to a crop that is abundant across northern Nigeria. I work under Dr. Ahmed Gambo, Head of Department.
Dan Bakalori (A), an orange-fleshed type (B) and Dan china (C), compared for syrup quality and yield.
Response Surface Methodology and a Box-Behnken design (Design-Expert and Excel) model temperature, reaction time and enzyme concentration.
°Brix, pH, viscosity and yield, plus how the syrup performs when baked into cakes.
Project
A digital platform to cut post-harvest loss and food waste. It connects food donors with recipients and helps recycle surplus food, so edible food reaches people instead of landfills.
I took FoodLife Saver through the 3MTT Cohort 1 programme and placed third at the 3MTT Tech for Good Hackathon in Kano.
Wireframes for the full donor and recipient journey: sign up, donate food, request food, a food map and feedback after pickup.
Product strategy documents and Notion PRDs that define the problem, users and scope.
Figma wireframes and UX flows, with Trello agile sprint boards to plan and ship in small steps.
Project
Our capstone project at the Women Techsters Bootcamp, Cohort 5.1. SpendWise is a budgeting app that helps students, workers and business owners track income and expenses, set savings goals, get reminders and see where their money goes.
It has separate personal and business modes, supports multiple currencies including the naira, and works offline.
Wireframes for a child-safety app concept with simple sign-up and a map-based “Get me Home” feature.
Mentorship
I led a mentorship session for the NextGen by Airtel and 3MTT cohort, sharing what I have learned in product management and technology with fellow learners.
Certificates
I keep learning across product management, cybersecurity, digital skills and sustainability. My Upwork freelancing profile has been live since August 2026. Tap a certificate to enlarge it.
Fashion
Fashion is my creative counterweight to the lab. Both start with materials, structure and patience, and both can be made more sustainable. My label is Miss Dimple Couture.
I’m open to research collaborations, product management projects, mentorship and freelance work.
