I build software, companies, and ideas — mostly for African talent and creators reaching the rest of the world.
About
Barisuka Turakpe is a Nigerian software engineer and startup founder. He is the founder of Remotah, a remote-work platform that connects skilled African professionals with employers in the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada.
He is also the founder of Atisah, a platform that lets African creators sell digital products — courses, ebooks, templates, memberships, and more — to buyers anywhere in the world, with the storefront and cross-border payments handled end to end.
Barisuka started building and teaching at 16. Since then he has trained more than 3,000 people to code and another 4,000–5,000 in sales and marketing. Across Remotah and Atisah he leads engineering and product; Remotah grew to over 20,000 organic waitlist signups with no paid advertising.
Alongside both companies, he runs a software and design agency and founded 018, a residency and community for early-stage builders in Nigeria.
His work sits at the intersection of technology, entrepreneurship, and ideas — with a long-standing interest in philosophy and theology, and how they shape the way software and AI get built. He writes and builds across technology, marketing, productivity, remote work, and the future of African technology.
