Today I had the honor of standing on yet another global stage as a developer at the PAYSTACK x OPENAI Forum in Lagos. My Team and I @kolapptech were selected to pitch after the PAYSTACK AI BUILDER CHALLENGE where we came 1st runner up during the finals. My best moment was having to demo alongside Shola the CEO of PAYSTACK, this has been the most interesting 3 weeks of my career in tech. I want to sincerely thank @paystack and @OpenAI For this opportunity, I appreciate my teammates @Fayokunmiosho and @tech_icons For building this with me. I want to thank GOD also for opening these doors. I AM EMMANUEL, SOFTWARE ENGINEER, GOAL GETTER AND A BELIEVER OF GOD🙏 IF YOU’RE THINKING OF GETTING INTO TECH, THIS IS YOUR SIGN👍. Lets connect🤝 #tech #BuildInPublic #SoftwareEngineering #Ai #BallonDor #SoftwareDevelopment #JASPER

I’m Proud to Announce that I’m now a company Director at Age 22 @kolapptech 📞 Few months ago I made a decision to not sit on ideas, in my journey as a software developer, I have achieved something very significant in the space of 12 months. Exactly 1 year ago i dropped the blind ambition I had and officially started my tech journey. I’ve met a lot of amazing people, collaborated with many developers and I didn’t just stop at learning, i made sure I turned every knowledge to a project I could see and own. IF YOU’RE JUST STARTING YOUR TECH JOURNEY, THIS IS YOUR SIGN🤝. I’m Emmanuel, A software Engineer, A Goal getter and a believer of God💯. #tech #BuildInPublic #startup #SoftwareEngineering #Ai

1X HACKATHON WINNER HERE🫡… I said I’ll quote this tweet and I’m back. I came 1st Place in the @Bmoniapp X @learn2earnNG Hackathon. With a project so dear to me “Kola”. I’ve had the privilege to pitch this idea to men of the Aliko Dangote Foundation YGL few weeks ago. Now I officially just won my first Hackathon as a developer and solo builder. I’m also a 1X Bounty winner for my technical documentation for @MidnightNtwrk I want to thank God for this win. I won’t stop here, I will build Kola past MVP level by God’s grace. Open for collaboration and early investors. #tech #SoftwareDevelopment #hackathon #buildinpublic

Zenith Bank Zecathon 6.0. LINK IN THE COMMENTS👇 An in-person hackathon in Lagos, October 20-22. The total prize pool is ₦90 Million. First place is ₦35M, second is ₦20M, third is ₦15M. That's not a typo. It's fintech-focused. 10 tracks: AI, fraud detection, digital banking, SME financing and more. You pick a track, you build something around it, you compete. Who can enter: African citizens, 20-35 years old, in teams of 2-4. No solo entries. If you don't have a team yet, that's what the comment section is for. Drop a comment and let's connect people. The money is obvious. What people sleep on is the investor exposure, the 2-week training program, and the direct Zenith Bank partnership. That last one especially. That's the kind of door that doesn't open twice. And if you're still in your learning journey, same as me, you don't need a finished product to apply. Just a strong idea and a team willing to build it out over three days. This is Lagos. Home turf. No excuses. Application deadline is October 13. Get moving. If you're entering or looking for teammates, drop a comment below.
