About Me

Hi! I’m Ade, Ade Adebayo. I moved to Waterloo, Ontario, from Ife, Nigeria, 18 months ago. I have a bachelor’s degree in Electronics and Electrical Engineering from Obafemi Awolowo University. Before moving to Canada, I worked as an Operations Specialist for Ikeja Electric PLC for 4 years. I hope to get into the renewable energy field, so I am taking the Applied Energy Management Program at Conestoga College. I am one semester away from graduating.
