Welcome! I'm Somto :), a passionate software developer who thrives on connecting with creative minds and tackling new challenges. I'm a fast learner who adapts quickly to new environments, I value continuous learning and keep an open mind in all endeavors. Whether it's coding for fun, playing chess, or exploring videography.

About Me

My journey in software development began during my time at Aptech Computer Education, where I led numerous projects and was honored as the best graduating student upon graduation. Though my mom once envisioned a career in neurosurgery for me, I found my true passion in programming, and I haven't looked back since.

I believe in giving your best and doing what you love, and this website is my way of sharing my journey, learning experiences, and fun projects with a broader audience—not just tech enthusiasts but anyone interested in creativity and innovation. What sets me apart is my curiosity and adaptability, as I continuously explore new technologies and ideas, with a particular excitement for the potential of AI. My long-term goal is to develop a SaaS product or business that solves real-world problems for the masses. In my downtime, you'll find me reading, enjoying a good nap, or creating videos that I may or may not share online. I hope this space leaves you feeling impressed and perhaps even thinking, "I have to hire this guy!"!.

Work

I currently work as a Full Stack Web Developer, my approach to software development is often shaped by my love for problem-solving. Though I tend to break down challenges into manageable pieces, the overwhelming nature of some tasks can make this difficult. I find immense joy in working on projects that not only spark my curiosity but also contribute to real-world solutions. Whether it’s through building with Next.js or crafting side projects, I’m always striving to improve my skills and make a tangible impact. The milestones I achieve, especially when seeing my work benefit real users, keep me motivated.
