Starting this blog feels like stepping onto a thrilling and uncertain road. It’s a journey I’ve been dreading to start. It carries the weight of lessons learned, challenges overcome, and dreams still taking shape. Well, since you are reading this, I’m glad to have your company as I undertake this path.
From Building Code to Building Purpose
My journey in tech began with the tingle of creation, watching lines of code transform into something tangible and functional. Those early years were filled with the satisfaction of solving puzzles and the simplicity of focusing on the “how.” But as I progressed, the “why” started to matter more.
I realized that technology isn’t just about building; it’s about enabling. From founding a startup to working with NGOs, I’ve seen technology drive change, create opportunities, and make the impossible possible. Today, I focus on designing scalable systems, creating tools like credit-scoring models for SMEs, and optimizing processes that impact real lives. Each project has reminded me of technology’s cosmic power—and its responsibility to uplift people.
Why This Blog?
This blog is a space for me to reflect on that journey, but also to share it with you. While I love creating video content on my YouTube channel, Savanna Techie, I’ve often longed for a deeper medium—a place to unpack ideas, explore challenges, and connect more personally.
Through this blog, I’ll share insights from the intersection of technology, leadership, and purpose. Some topics I’m eager to explore include:
- Designing resilient software systems
- Leading and mentoring tech teams
- Exploring emerging technologies like AI and quantum computing
- Driving financial inclusion through fintech innovations
- Balancing sustainability with growth in tech
This isn’t just about sharing what I’ve learned but building a conversation.
Sharing Knowledge on Savanna Techie
Teaching has always been a source of joy for me. I started Savanna Techie, a YouTube channel dedicated to empowering software engineers where I break down complex concepts on the channel, explore emerging trends, and share actionable tips.
While the channel is gearing up for fresh content next year, I invite you to check out the existing videos if you haven’t already. Whether it’s troubleshooting a tricky bug or learning the fundamentals of integration, the goal has always been to make learning accessible and impactful.
What’s Next?
The future is an exciting road full of promise and inevitable challenges. In the coming weeks, I’ll share stories from my work with a BaaS platform where we’re helping businesses scale and innovate. I’ll also explore trends like automation, expert advisors, financial markets, and the role of leadership in tech’s evolving landscape.
Here is the thing: I want this space to grow with you. If there’s a topic you’re curious about or a question you’ve been pondering, let me know. Your ideas will shape what we explore here. Who knows, we might end up doing a podcast or something.
My hope is that this blog becomes a space for learning, reflection, and connection—a place where we discuss not only technology but also its impact on the world and its people.
Thank you for being here at the beginning of this chapter. Let’s make it one filled with curiosity, growth, and purpose.
