About Me
I'm Solomon Akor — Software Developer, Head of Operations, and Co-Founder of Kira Scales Limited. My Computer Science background paired with hands-on industrial experience gives me a unique lens on building things that work in the real world.
After recognizing a gap in Nigeria's industrial weighing sector, I co-founded Kira Scales — an industrial weighing solutions company supplying, installing, and calibrating weighbridges for businesses across Nigeria.
Today I combine leadership in operations with software development, building tools and products that bridge the digital and industrial worlds.
Computer Science graduate — strong foundation in software engineering, algorithms, and system design.
Led operations in cocoa warehousing and discovered industrial weighing during time in Europe.
Co-founded Kira Scales Limited, now serving as Head of Operations for industrial weighing across Nigeria.
Building modern web applications with Next.js, TypeScript, and Node.js for real-world impact.
