About
Who I am.

I'm Wisdom Sodji. I adapt fast, I read the room, and I get people working with me. That's what makes projects go smoothly in places you've never been before.

4 years on medium-voltage drive systems for Oil & Gas with GE Power Conversion. 3.5 years on Siemens-based industrial automation for Bobst Group SA (Switzerland), deployed to clients like Amcor across 3 continents. PLC programming, drives commissioning, SCADA/HMI, safety systems, troubleshooting — I know the systems, I know the process, and I get along with the teams on the ground.

I operate through Ayigah LLC — direct, no layers. French, English, Spanish.
