About Me
In 2020, I started teaching myself frontend development from scratch — no formal background, just curiosity and a lot of late nights. Within a year I had my first industry experience as a Frontend Developer intern at Shareqube (2021), and along the way discovered a deep love for UI/UX design.
What began as self-taught curiosity grew steadily: design certifications, freelance projects, and eventually a structured training programme at Leadway Assurance where I expanded into full-stack development — building backends, managing databases, developing mobile apps, and co-leading a team.
Today I work as a Backend Developer Trainee at Leadway Assurance, volunteer as a Backend Developer at Trailblazer, develop frontend products at Zerocardless (BuyRMB), and contribute to open-source Web3 projects via the Drip platform — often all at once.
