“The transition from university to the tech industry can feel uncertain. There are many paths, but not always clear guidance on how to position yourself, prepare for opportunities, and grow into the role you aspire to. During that period, I had the privilege of receiving mentorship from Gbubemi Akperi, whose guidance helped me better understand how to navigate the early stages of my career.

“From preparing for internship opportunities to refining how I approached interviews and positioning my technical skills, his support played an important role in helping me move forward with confidence.

“I eventually secured an internship as a Backend Developer at Rigo Inc(Formerly NucleusIS Africa), where I gained hands-on experience building backend systems in the fintech industry and working with engineering teams. That experience later transitioned into a full-time role, and my journey continued from there.

“Most recently, I’ve had the privilege of working at Digicore, where I’ve been building and maintaining banking systems in production, integrating with top-tier financial institutions like UNITED BANK FOR AFRICA, TAJBank Ltd., LAPO Microfinance and others. Working at that scale, where the code you ship directly impacts real financial transactions, has been one of the most demanding and rewarding experiences of my career so far.

“The depth of learning that comes from operating in a live banking environment is something I couldn’t have gotten anywhere else.

There is still so much to learn, but I’m excited about the journey ahead and the problems we’ll continue building solutions for.”
