Welcome to September, start of the last trimester of this year. The Advice of the day is...
Touch grass by going for Tech Events! (This was my first, and I loved it)
Tech Events are a fantastic opportunity to grow and connect with great and visionary minds. It also helps you understand the tech ecosystem better, and how various individuals collaborate to ensure growth. For instance, at yesterday's event, I was able to better understand the role of a PM (Project Manager). And how important their role is in bringing everyone together whilst not compromising on company standards in order to deliver great products.
At the #FusionTechFest, I was able to meet an amazing backend developer who places no limits on himself in the person of Yusuf Mayowa. Collaborating with a frontend developer, Azeez Ariyibi, they were able to develop 𝗖𝗼𝗰𝗼𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿, a native application that is able to track the real-time location of family members and friends that have been pre-added to a collection called a "pack".
By building 𝗖𝗼𝗰𝗼𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿, they were able to deliver an impactful application that won third place in the Software Track of the #FTF hackathon. (He's in the picture on the right).
I was also met Rukayat Yaro of the Design With Rooks community and other community members as well, such as Ruth Idaneme Douglas, Oluwatosin Olajide and many others. It was amazing to finally meet these people in person.
Played some games and won a sticker from one of my favorite fintech solutions Kora and received some souvenirs.
My only regret was that I couldn't meet two amazing people Favour Faiyetole, who I've been a fan of since her early twitter days (I couldn't recognize her due to her bucket hat 😭) and Stella Ladegbaye whose posts kept me feeling optimistic about my chosen field on bad days.
All in all, it was a great event and I'm happy that I went. Hope you try some tech event someday and if you've done so this year, that's good. Keep it up. That's it for today guys.
See you on Day 6 😉.
