Relentless
Pragmatism.

I didn't start in a pristine lab. I started where the power cuts out three times a day and the internet connection is a test of faith. This environment didn't break me; it forged my engineering philosophy.

Software engineering in Africa isn't about following Silicon Valley trends blindly. It's about resource efficiency, offline-first architecture, and building tools that solve visceral problems, not imagined ones.

Leadership is abstract until you have to mobilize volunteers who aren't getting paid. My time in Rotary has been my MBA. It taught me that influence is earned through contribution, not titles.

"If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together. But if you want to go efficiently, build a system."

I apply the same rigor to community projects as I do to codebases. Clear documentation, sustainable processes, and immediate impact.
