Creative Technologist • Cinematographer • Software Engineer

I studied BSc.Ed Computer Science and I’m actively merging software engineering, cinematography, and Afrofuturistic storytelling to build Afrocode Studio — a digital-first African film & tech universe.

About
Who is Musa Oyiza Rahama?

A filmmaker with a computer science brain — and a software engineer with a filmmaker’s heart — building a new generation of African stories for the screen and the web.

I am a Nigerian creative technologist with a background in BSc.Ed Computer Science. My work sits at the crossroads of film, storytelling, and software engineering. I love crafting worlds where African culture, technology, and human stories meet.

Over the years, I’ve written and developed multiple Nigerian-inspired story universes — from heartwarming billionaire folktales to Afrofuturistic concepts that imagine what our future could look like on screen and online.

On the tech side, I am committed to building tools, web experiences, and digital products that support storytellers — from lightweight dashboards to interactive experiences designed for emerging creators and studios.

My long-term vision is to grow Afrocode Studio into a digital-first African film & tech lab — a place where short films, story universes, and creative software live together, and where young people can learn to build both stories and software.

I am also exploring pathways to study digital media / film / creative technology in Canada, not just to relocate, but to gain the skills, network, and exposure needed to scale Afrocode globally.
