About

Originally from Nigeria, I came to the UK to study for my undergraduate degree, fell in love with the UK (and with Patricia) and decided to settle.I built my first product at age 21 (without knowing it) after watching the Social Network movie (how facebook was formed). I decided to build a news reader app for Africa because there was none. We called it inTime.Hired some developers, designed the website and the UX for the app and boom, we launched (without any product discovery or market research). It failed just like many other projects failed!My curiosity led me to complete a PhD in Technology Entrepreneurship but I quickly discovered that academics wasn't for me. It was tough and I fell into depression twice in 4 years.PhD done, I decided to go against the norm and get into industry. I wanted to really join FDM - an IT training and placement consultancy but was ghosted 3 times without any explanation even after passing their interview.Broke, in debt, and with a 1-year-old child, I decided to bet on myself. I completed a Business Analyst course, applied for over 800 jobs and was rejected or ghosted by about 795. Had 4 interviews and eventually had an offer that began my journey.My journey gave me a deep sense of purpose, gratitude, and hunger to:#1. Help other professionals discover fulfilling career paths in IT, and#2. Support young adults in Africa to acquire digital skills that will enable them to become freelancers and self-sufficient.#3. Build meaningful and impactful products.
