Life Updates: 2 Years in 2 Minutes
It’s been a minute—okay, two years—since I last posted. Here’s the TL;DR of what’s new:
🎓 Academic Upgrade
Late 2024: Swapped late-night coding sessions for late-night study sessions. Started a Master’s in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology—because why choose between genes and Java when you can have them both?
👨👩👧 Family Glow-Up
Got married. Had a tiny human (now a sweet little 1-year-old). Pro tip: Baby giggles > compiler errors.
💼 Career Wins
- 2024 Promotion: Joined Interswitch (Africa’s largest Payment Gateway & FinTech aggregator) as a Senior Software Engineer. Built systems that power millions of transactions—because money should move faster than my toddler.
- Mentorship Boom: Launched a coding mentorship program in Lagos. It’s now bigger than my impostor syndrome.
🛠 Projects & Papers
- VealFramework: My web dev framework is now fully loaded—like a dev stack with extra bacon.
- Research: Co-authored papers (pending publication). Spoiler: They involve both code and so much math.
🌟 Verdict
Life’s chaotic, but the algorithm is algorithming. Grateful.
