I hold a bachelor's degree in business education from Enugu State University of Science and Technology. Despite my formal education not being in computer science, my passion for technology has been the driving force behind my transition into a software engineer.

My journey into the world of coding began at the Global Institute of Learning ICT in Abuja, where I learned HTML, CSS, and JavaScript—the languages that power websites. These foundational skills allowed me to create visually appealing and interactive web pages. However, my thirsty for knowledge and a desire for more significant challenges led me to enrol in the Decagon Institute in Lagos.

There, I spent six months learning Java and becoming a Java Software Engineer. During this journey, I did not just study; I applied my knowledge to real projects, including a Facebook clone, a dynamic fashion blog, an Event Tracking web app, and more. Currently, I am in a term that developing an Event Booking web application—a project that reflects my commitment to crafting user-friendly solutions.

This journey is both exciting and fulfilling, and I am dedicated to its success.
