I am a computer science graduate of Alcorn State University (May 2021). I code with Python, JavaScript, and C++, and I'm passionate about finding innovative solutions to problems. I love learning new skills, meeting new people, and working on progressive teams. During my spare time, I play chess or read blogs.
I love to hack and build new stuff with code. I also love to challenge myself by working on interesting projects like Peek.
I am very passionate about technology, and I am interested in exploring ways to leverage it to solve complex problems and create opportunities that will generate wealth and in turn, create financial freedom.
Aside, my passion for programming, I love going over and beyond expectations. This is why I left my home country for the United States in 2017 - to compete at the highest level!
I grew up in Nigeria, a country where 40% of over 200 million people live below the poverty line. I want to use my gifts and knowledge to create opportunities that will democratize technology and also empower many of these people. What's more, I hope to inspire future generations from similar backgrounds as me, that if I could do it, then they can do it too.
