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.

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.
