Michael Olasode

With over 5 years of experience in the energy and manufacturing sectors, I’ve built a diverse engineering background that spans industrial production processes, manufacturing of machine parts, and precision machining. My expertise includes CNC lathes and mills, troubleshooting technical issues, and improving manufacturing workflows. I’m passionate about optimizing equipment, streamlining operations, and finding innovative solutions to complex engineering challenges. Every day, I’m focused on enhancing efficiency and driving productivity.

As the Technical Coordinator at the INNOVATE Centre for Arts, Crafts and Technology, I oversee the maintenance of equipment, manage inventories, and ensure that everything operates smoothly for both our team and clients. I provide technical support, guide product development, and ensure client needs are met. Additionally, I lead safety training, implement procedures, and coordinate schedules to keep the centre running efficiently. It’s a role that combines technical expertise with client-facing responsibilities, allowing me to make a meaningful impact on both the centre and the broader community.

Having lived in Inuvik for almost two years, I’ve built strong connections within this vibrant community. Contributing to the community, both professionally and personally, is something I truly value. When I'm not working, you can find me exploring new technologies, reading, or tackling personal projects that fuel my passion for continuous learning and innovation.
