Co-founder, ParallelScore
Adebayo Dawodu
I build infrastructure for organizations that need to think.
The Cognitive Stack
Most transformations spend hundreds of millions and still cannot capture what the organization learns.
Houston or Lagos, the pattern is the same. Strategy decks land. Platforms ship. Consultants leave. The institutional memory of why a decision was made, what was tried, what worked, what almost worked — it evaporates with the org chart. I build the layer underneath: the sensing surface (Synapse), the working memory (Nzube), the decision substrate (Maru), and the cognitive forward plane (CFP) that turns it back into action.
- Synapse
- How the organization senses the field.
- Nzube
- How it remembers what it learned.
- Maru
- How it decides under real conditions.
- CFP
- How decisions become coordinated action.
Where the stack is taking shape
Selected work
Metric Health
Built a HIPAA-compliant remote clinical assessment platform from zero, across four portals, on enterprise-grade AWS.
Healthcare automation platform for hospitals
An agent-first platform that aligns discharge, prior auth, and revenue cycle so patients wait on care, not paperwork.
Optilead — multi-tenant lead-management CRM for OWCP clinics
Multi-tenant CRM for OWCP healthcare clinics that unifies web-form, inbound SMS, and IMAP email leads into a single deduped pipeline with calls, SMS, email, AI assist, appointments, and conversion analytics — so no lead falls through the cracks.
TBO Library — modern library and community knowledge platform
A digital library and community space with rich admin tooling, role-aware access, and lifecycle-managed users.
Where I have led
Inside the machines that break
Led a global engineering organization of 30+ engineers delivering SAP, Salesforce, and identity-platform modernization across 300+ sites — generating $100M+ in business value.
Led the engineering team that built Marriott's first global responsive website serving 100M+ users and 19M loyalty members, while shipping platform work for Pearson and the SEC.

The 1-Hour Audit: How I Walk a Contractor-Built Stack on Day One
Contractor-built applications fail in the same five places, in the same five ways, every time. Here is the seven-step walk I do in an hour, and the severity rule I hand the founder at the end.

A single misconfigured encryption key would have shown ciphertext to every user the moment we cut over. Here is how I caught it, and the test that catches it next time.
