By Michael Adeshina

Josiah Akinloye, born on May 9, 1994, in Nigeria, has become a prominent figure in technology and innovation. With expertise in web development and software engineering, Akinloye has focused his career on utilizing emerging technologies to improve society. His efforts have gained international recognition, positioning him as a significant player in the tech industry.

Recently, Akinloye was acknowledged as one of the 54 Global Personalities of the International Longevity Alliance (ILA) Federated Members, highlighting his impact and contributions to the global discourse on technology and its ability to improve quality of life.

A notable achievement of Akinloye is his role in creating an advanced Internet of Things (IoT) gateway at Mainlogix Technology. This innovative gateway can support over 20,000 third-party smart devices from various manufacturers, facilitating seamless integration and control. It features a unified mobile app for centralized management, enabling multi-protocol interactions and ensuring local device management, which is essential for enhancing cybersecurity and user privacy. Importantly, the gateway is equipped with a backup battery system that maintains functionality during power outages, ensuring continuous operation and alert capabilities during emergencies.

Beyond the IoT gateway, Akinloye has also led the creation of “SMART,” an AI voice assistant tailored for the African market. This assistant improves user interaction by allowing personalized voice commands to manage smart home devices. The successful launch of SMART has greatly enhanced user experiences and has helped Mainlogix expand into international markets, including Canada, after securing a significant investment of $300,000 from Canadian International Angel investors in 2021.

Akinloye’s influence goes beyond product development; he is also a senior member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), where he actively contributes to the field.
