- Elvis Chidera, a young talent from Nigeria, started his tech journey as a village boy with a Nokia phone, teaching himself coding and building websites and apps.
- Despite facing challenges like not having a PC, he persevered, eventually landing a job as an Android Developer at a MIT-backed startup, dot Learn, and making a name for himself in Nigeria's tech scene.
This is great and an encouragement to tech lovers who are willing to add extra efforts to learning new things in technology industry
What a story. From a dusty village in the southeastern part of Nigeria to rubbing shoulders with some of the best in tech innovation in the country and the world. This guy has passion i can't even phantom. He created a PC app on his mobile phone and at such a very young age! They say you are only limited by your desire. The Nigerian tech scene is screaming for people like this who can provide solutions to the myriads of problems facing the country. I hope dot Learn takes Elvis Chidera's career to the next level.
