About Me

"

I'm not a naturally talented developer. I'm just someone who refuses to give up.

"

I didn’t get into programming because I loved it. I chose tech because I wanted a future where I could rely on my own skills, my own discipline, and the grace of God to build something meaningful. I began with nothing, no knowledge, a slow Fujitsu laptop, and concepts that made no sense. But I pushed through every difficulty and taught myself how to build real products.

My Journey

I started coding during my early university years with absolutely no experience. Terms like frontend, backend, or API felt like a foreign language. My laptop couldn’t even install VS Code, so I would download entire HTML, CSS, and JavaScript tutorials at work and rebuild them at night from scratch. It was difficult, slow, and sometimes discouraging but I kept going.

Over time, consistency became my greatest strength. What I lacked in talent, I made up for through effort and discipline. Every line of code I wrote, every tutorial I repeated, and every failed attempt shaped the foundation of who I am today.

Today, my passion is simple: to build solutions that make life easier for people, to learn continuously, and to prove to myself that I can grow beyond the limits I once had.

Along my journey, I was fortunate to be guided by Mr. Ngwayi Tanto Joel, CEO of N-Tec Labs. His support, leadership and belief in young developers gave me the foundation I needed. He opened the door and I worked relentlessly to grow through it

What I Do

  • End-to-end full-stack application development.
  • Building scalable backend systems and APIs.
  • UI/UX improvement and product-focused design thinking.
  • Integrating AI/LLM tools into real applications.
  • Deployment pipelines using Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud platforms.
  • CMS solutions like Payload and WordPress.
  • Research, architecture planning, and system documentation.

My Principles

  • Discipline: I show up and do the work every day.
  • Consistency: I don’t stop until the task is complete.
  • Collaboration: I believe in teamwork and communication.
  • Curiosity: I explore and experiment continuously.
  • Growth: I always push myself to improve.
  • Responsibility: I respect deadlines and commitments.
  • Resilience: I do not give up.

Beyond Coding

Outside of programming, I maintain a balanced and active life. I go to the gym 3–4 times a week, travel to discover new cultures, and play football with friends.

I value learning new things, building good relationships, and expanding my knowledge beyond technology. In the future, I hope to explore new skills such as playing piano and developing creative hobbies.

My long-term dream is to build my own company — one that creates real opportunities, impacts lives, and helps people improve their daily experiences.
