Azeezat Otulana co-founded 1010 coding because of her long history of benevolence to kids by providing knowledge and support. From empowering kids at orphanages, organizing catch-them-young programs for secondary school students to holding summer camps to enlighten middle schoolers on engineering and technology, Azeezat has remained a steadfast educator. She recognizes the potential in investing in young minds because they are the key to the future. 

Currently, Azeezat works as a Reservoir Engineer with an independent oil & gas producing company based in Houston, Texas, where she focuses on brown field development, reserves estimation, developing transformative solutions for mature fields by combining subject matter expertise and technology, evaluating oil and gas assets for acquisition, and preparing divestment packages.
