History

I’ve been interested in computers ever since I got my first computer – an IBM PC/XT.

It was a massive investment for my father and a sacrifice for my mother and sister. From memory, it took a while to pay it off. But it was gotten because all my friends were getting it and the family didn’t want me to fall behind. I used it primarily for playing Pacman! I couldn’t get any other coaching on what else to do with it 🙁 But I loved it – the sound of it turning on, the fan, the floppy disks, the box to carry these floppy disks…

In university, I became more interested in the internet. I began to play around with personal blogging using Blogger, WordPress, and Tumblr. That got me interested in domain names, hosting, and email clients. Then, came social media – Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube. That led me to explore digital advertising and eventually the bootstrapped entrepreneurship initiatives from Twitter users.

Then, in 2023 I began to launch a few ventures of my own, and that’s when I decided to take a serious study of coding. I enrolled in a 10-month intense full-stack web development bootcamp, commencing October 2023.

I look forward to making web app development a part of my forte in years to come! Wish me luck 🙂
