The Wall

Awards, milestones, and the community work I'm proud of. Not a trophy shelf, but proof that the late nights, the rationed data, and the failed prototypes added up to something real.

None of it was given. Every piece of it was built.

Every entry, in order

2024

01 · Milestone

Self-Taught Into Tech

Mechanical engineering to software

Took a work ethic built under scarcity and pointed it somewhere that could grow, from vehicle harnesses to production web products, in one deliberate move.

2024

02 · Milestone

Built My First Real Projects

Learning by rebuilding

Rebuilt work that intimidated me from scratch, over and over, until it clicked. Those first projects taught me more about frontend architecture than any tutorial could.

2025

03 · Community

Founded Badagry Tech Bridges

Community initiative

Started a virtual non-profit to open doors for young people trying to break into tech, with real mentorship, group accountability, and a tight focus on the foundations.

2025

04 · Milestone

Shipped Styleon

Product · live & improving

A fast typography tool for LinkedIn creators, and a lesson in knowing what not to build. One job, done really well, and still being refined.

2025

05 · Award

Won the AltSchool Hackathon

Toritype

Built Toritype with my team and took first place: a speech-to-text platform that transcribes Nigerian English and Pidgin without flattening them into standard English. It is still live today.

2025

06 · Award

Runner-Up, Zenith Hackathon

₦10,000,000 prize

Hours to find a real problem, design the experience, build the frontend, and pitch a working prototype. Placing wasn't about the money. It was proof that the late nights had added up to real skill.

2026

07 · Milestone

Built & Shipped AltBase

Live product · sole creator

Designed and built a dedicated platform for AltSchool alumni, on my own, and keep it alive through database changes, real-time features, and weekly updates. Live and still improving.

Mentoring the Next Cohort

Badagry Tech Bridges

Repaying a community that refused to let me quit, helping beginners think logically, build real apps, and find their way around the industry.
