About
About Me🤓

I studied telecommunication engineering in university. However, my career in software engineering began about five years ago as a self-learner while completing my undergraduate program in Nigeria. My love for software engineering drove me to focus and teach myself during that time. Rather than see challenges as obstacles, I leveraged them as opportunities to grow, improve my skillset, and expand my worth.

Since starting the career, I have contributed to four successful startups, mastered four programming languages, explored multiple libraries and worked on over 16 projects across 5+ sectors.

Inspiration
Let’s talk about books📚

Remember I mentioned that I am a bibliophile? Yea, that’s correct. Reading is a core part of my daily life. From financial, self-help, leadership, business to marriage books, I strive to read and digest as much as I can from the knowledge of other people. I believe reading is one of the best way to explore the world, learn from the experience of experts and develop ourselves and mindset.

Some of my favorite books are: Rich Dad Poor Dad, 48 Laws of Power, The Richest Man in Babylon, Lean Startup, Design Details, and Stillness is Key amongst others!

Hobby
Becoming a professional Swimmer🏊🏼

Outside coding and reading books, one major part of my life is swimming. Swimming is one thing I do for fun, to relax my muscle after hours of coding and debugging. I am convinced that swimming is one of the best hobby and sport out there. I do hope to become an olympic swimmer one day (fingers crossed🤞🏽).
