About Me – Frederick Surles

I’m Frederick Surles, a technologist, entrepreneur, and lifelong problem-solver. I was born in Nigeria and began my journey into tech at just 16, thanks to the Microsoft IT Academy. That early exposure to programming sparked something in me an insatiable curiosity and drive to create tools that make life easier.

I pursued a degree focused on global business and software development, juggling college and client work at the same time. Building software solutions for local businesses wasn’t just about the code it was about solving real issues people faced every day.

Over the years, I’ve had the honor of founding and leading several ventures that blend innovation with impact. At Abovav Technologies, we’ve delivered digital solutions to everyone from startup founders to NBA and NFL champions. With Scizzrs, a company I co-founded with Bayo Omoyeni and Nimbe Oviosu.

We built a platform that reimagined the salon experience connecting top hair professionals with customers seeking on-demand service. And in 2021, I launched JéGO Technologies, where we design self-driving electric pods to bring mobile services like healthcare directly to communities. The goal is simple: empower small businesses and make essential services accessible, no matter where you are.

In 2019, I met the love of my life, entrepreneur Dawn Dickson, through Instagram. Six months later, we were married. We even wrote a book together, Started in the DM, sharing how our digital love story came to life. That personal connection to the online world reminds me how powerful tech can be when used with purpose.

In 2025, I began a new chapter writing. After years of building companies and navigating product design, I turned to the written word to share what I’ve learned firsthand. Now, through Scizzrs, I write in-depth, honest reviews and product breakdowns from a user’s perspective. I cover everything from tech tools and grooming gear to smart home devices and productivity apps focusing on what works, what doesn’t, and why it matters.

This blog is for people who want more than marketing jargon. It’s for those who want real insights from someone who’s tried, tested, and lived with the tools of the modern world. Whether you’re a business owner, a maker, or just curious about the products shaping your everyday life I’m here to help you make smarter choices.
