Early interactions with technology

My first real interaction with technology happened in secondary school. That was when I was introduced to computers, and I remember how exciting it felt at the time. It was fascinating to see what a computer could do.

I became more interested in exploring the possibilities, trying things out, learning how different functions worked, and discovering how technology could make tasks easier. It opened my mind to a new way of doing things, especially compared to the manual processes I was used to.

By the time I got into the university, that exposure had deepened. I used computers for assignments, projects, and research. AI wasn’t widespread at the time, so it was mostly about learning how to use search engines effectively and gather the information I needed.

From studying communication to building a career

I studied Communication Arts at the University of Uyo, Nigeria. It focused on communication, advertising, and information flow rather than creative arts.
