the first mobile application prototype for Plaqsha (Formerly Ziksha). Plaqsha is a learning platform for blue collar workers. We focused on retention after learning. This was a sensational task for me as I had to learn new and intriguing ideas and a different society than I was used to. Ziksha was for an Indian start up and I was privileged to have undertaken this task. We had to work within strict time-lines as the Covid-19 pandemic was at its peak at this period and we must deliver on the project. I was able to deliver 53 screens of excellent work despite the novel times we found ourselves. I also have designed responsive applications, both mobile and web to further quantify my design thinking and processes. I recently re-designed the website of a accounting firm and early reports have shown a sizeable increase in website traffic and conversion due to excellent user research we undertook to amply the firm to its user base. ### Maintenance Control & Planning Engineer @ Arik Air Jan 2019 – Jan 2019 | Lagos, Nigeria ### Graduate Intern @ Arik Air Jan 2018 – Jan 2019 | Lagos, Nigeria ### Hangar Technician @ International Aviation College, Ilorin Jan 2015 – Jan 2015 ## Education ### Bachelor of Engineering - BE in Aerospace, Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering KWARA STATE UNIVERSITY, MALETE Jan 2012 – Jan 2017 ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/okeoghene-igbigbisie - Portfolio: https://okeoghene.bio --- Source: https://flows.cv/okeoghene JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/okeoghene/resume.json Last updated: 2026-03-25
