I build tools, templates and systems that make work easier to do and easier to see. This is where I share them.
Alienbox is the curious one, always looking in from the outside and asking why. Works is the part that rolls up its sleeves and makes it real.
Made from real work, not theory. Instant download. Works in Google Sheets, Google Docs, Excel and Word.
Write your wins down while they're fresh, so review season stops being a memory test.
Hand over calmly, stay in touch the way you want, and come back well.
Apps, tools and the writing that sits behind them. Each one started with a question I couldn't leave alone.
A self-advocacy journal for capturing your wins in STAR format, saving recognition and building a Brag Board you can export. I designed it in Figma and built it in React. Self-documentation is self-advocacy.

I'm Ifunanya, and I'm happiest when I'm figuring out how something works. I studied philosophy, which mostly taught me to keep asking why. Then I taught myself to code, because I wanted to build the things I was curious about.
In 2019 I joined a young cloud company as one of its first two admin hires. Since then I've helped build how it runs: hiring and onboarding, payroll, policies, vendors, and the quiet systems that let everyone else do their best work.
That's how I build: get curious, find the friction, make a system, share it. Alienbox Works is where those systems end up, so other people can use them too.
Runs admin and people support for teams across several countries, and manages a small team. Wrote most of the company's operational processes and policies, helped set up its HR system, and builds the internal tools and automations that keep things moving.
Worked with the COO, a product manager and engineers.
Software development internship.
