Not what happened. What it changed.

Marvel. DC. Disney XD, Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, KidsCo. Every hero show I could get my hands on.

Home. My family is from Obudu. I did the normal things: played, got into a bit of mischief, was loved.

My dad's old work laptop, plus an Airtel modem. I watched original Naruto on it from some random site that probably does not exist anymore.

Boarding school from JSS1 to SS3. I was Deputy Senior Prefect and an academic champion, and I went for everything: CruxMaths, Interswitch SPARK, basketball, athletics, football when it happened.

I led my school to wins that qualified us internationally. FTC Team Captain Award. FTC Innovation Award in 2023. FLL National 4th Runner Up. Robot Design Award in 2024.

It began as a way to make money as a student. Educational content and news posted to WhatsApp status, basically a small TV station that lived on a phone.

WAEC and NECO, done.

A year of proper training. pandas, SQL, scikit learn, R, regression, clustering, visualisation, and a lot of presenting in front of the class.

I was supposed to go to UNN. I ended up at FUTO studying mechanical, electronic and software engineering as one subject.

AURA. CarnivalXperience. Speaking at the Calabar Tech Conference. Winning the Building in Public track at Hack4FUTO. Winning the Going for Gold content creation challenge. Joining FUTO-RISERS. Placing 4th in a hackathon with no team.
