2017 - Dec 2021
I served as the technical adviser for a non-profit organization (SeedDev) that I cofounded which focused on bringing STEM education to kids and teenagers in rural Africa that aren’t exposed to modern technologies and programming. I built the custom desktop software for introducing the kids to programming (built using JavaScript+Electron) and supervised the development and deployment of the seeddev.group website.

Most websites do not require too much heavy stuff, but they still pay dearly for development, hosting and maintenance. Now.ng sought to help SME's get their website instantly, enhancing their online presence, without having to pay too many people to get it done — and at a very ridiculous price too.

The Burgeoning Blossoms series (don’t mind the name), is a collection of carefully crafted literary works – writings, poems, short stories, and other pretty things; a compilation of intelligent stories, fiction, poems and freestyle that would leave you wondering, smiling, inspired or doing all at the same time! If you love reading, have an imaginatively creative mind, and don’t mind taking some time off to relax, you would love the Burgeoning Blossoms. Containing concise morceaux bundled in volumes with strange nomenclature; Burgeoning Blossoms will draw you into the pages and keep you glued. Show less
