About

I am Orobiyi Samson Babatunde, a versatile professional with strong expertise in 2D AutoCAD design and urban planning with over 5 years of experience. I hold a Higher National Diploma in Urban and Regional Planning (Distinction) from The Federal Polytechnic, Ilaro, where I also earned my National Diploma with Upper Credit.

My career journey spans across banking, academics, and design, where I have consistently demonstrated problem-solving, teamwork, and analytical skills. Previously, during my NYSC service year at The First Technical University, I worked as a Technologist Assistant, supervising student projects and supporting learning through innovative teaching methods.

Beyond my professional roles, I am highly skilled in Microsoft Office, AutoCAD, Figma, Canva, and Google Earth, which I apply in creating precise 2D drawings, furniture designs, and urban planning layouts. My adaptability, strong communication abilities, and passion for continuous learning position me as a resourceful contributor in both design and technical environments.

Outside work, I enjoy learning, teaching, reading, traveling, and researching, which constantly broaden my perspective and inspire my creative process.
