Long bio

Joan Ovoke Urevbu is a Nigerian education-technology builder and writer. Her work sits at the seam between education and software — the plumbing that decides whether a register is accurate, whether thousands of parents receive a school update, whether a multi-campus school can run its term without spreadsheets collapsing.

She has built and operated tools schools use daily: timetabling and teaching-assignment systems, gate and pickup logistics, and SMS messaging pipelines engineered for places where data is expensive and connectivity is intermittent. She works between Benin City, Nigeria and Porto Alegre, Brazil, and goes by Joan Osunde following her marriage in 2022.
