About Me

Emeka (Mekano)

I'm Emeka, codename = Mekano; A fuse of my first and last name ;) — a Digital Transformation practitioner who got tired of watching organizations get sold AI hype without the practical roadmap to act on it.

My work sits at the intersection of business process improvement and hands-on AI implementation. I don't just advise on AI strategy — I build with the tools myself, in public, so clients can see exactly what's possible and what it actually takes to get there.

In 2026 I enrolled in Vanderbilt University's Generative AI Software Engineering Specialization and started shipping real products with Claude Code. The Expense Tracker was the first. This site is the second. There are more coming.

The build-in-public approach isn't just a personal challenge — it's a proof of concept. If I can go from "non-technical" to shipping full-stack AI-assisted applications in a matter of weeks, your team can learn to use these tools too. That's the work I want to bring to your organization.

Current Focus

Completing the Vanderbilt AI Specialization, shipping 1 project per month, and building a client pipeline for AI transformation consulting engagements. Open to both employment and independent consulting conversations.
