XPLICIT DIGITAL SOLUTIONS^®, with the company registration number RC8581555, was founded by YUSUF Taoheed Abiodun. Taoheed's passion for science and technology began during his high school studies. He worked diligently that he finished high school as the overall best student. To keep up the streak, he graduated with first-class honours and as the best student from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH), Nigeria. He thereafter obtained his master’s degree with distinction from the Department of Information and Computer Science, King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM), Saudi Arabia, where he majored in Software Engineering. While his undergraduate sojourn in LAUTECH was mostly course examinations based, his adventure in KFUPM however exposed him to the different research facets in Software Engineering and Computer Science at large. All through his semesters in KFUPM, he worked solely, and as a member of teams in projects. They include face recognition using Convolution Neural Network architectures, software project management research, software bugs, softgoals interdependency graph catalog, etc. In his Master's thesis, he developed a cybersecurity readiness model based on human factors. The model can help businesses, companies, and organisations better manage security processes and maintain effective threat prevention strategies for human factors in cybersecurity.

After Completion of his Master's degree in KFUPM, unlike some of his colleagues who travelled over to Canada, the UK, the US, etc., he returned back to Nigeria to venture into entrepreneurship; which is what birthed XPLICIT DIGITAL SOLUTIONS^®.
