Me in a nutshell
I'm a Programmer from Nigeria that specializes in Front-end development, currently learning back-end😏😏. While growing up, I went to different schools and I've always been enthusiastic about turning problems to challenges.

I've been lucky enough to have my work featured around the world, and i enjoy learning, teaching,sharing my knowledge and love of design to people.
I think it's important to get regular screen downtime, so when i'm not programming, you'll find me cooking, playing games, listening to music and hanging out with friends

How I got into Programming
Since I was a kid, I've always loved to operating a computer system(though I aspired to be a medical doctor); I always pictured myself treating patients in the medical ward because it's a part of my dream to help people overcome their greatest challenges.

I graduated from high school in the year 2022, and stayed home for a few months seeking for admission into college. I finally got admission into college by the month of May in the year 2k23; I became a student Nurse in training. College was interesting but rough in some areas, although it was a fun experience but sadly my days in college shortly came to an end due to complications with the administration of the school.

In early 2024, after spending several months at home contemplating how to stay productive, my primary occupation as a media personnel at my Church kept me somewhat occupied, yet I felt a sense of emptiness. That's when I embarked on a journey of exploration.
It took some time, but I eventually decided to delve into programming, leading me to begin my employment at Gateway Computers.
