I've always been obsessed (in the best way) with anything tech. My grandfather could testify to this—"Ayokanmi must be an engineer," he'd say repeatedly. As a kid, you'd find me in my uncle's room, tinkering with every piece of technology I could get my hands on, driven by an insatiable curiosity about how things work.
This curiosity shaped everything, from my movie preferences (anything with "quantum" or other popular sci-fi buzz-words in the dialogue) to my core interests. Growing up, learning and creating became the foundation of who I am, shaping how I approach every new challenge.
There was this passion my first encounter with Python code ignited in me. Although all it did was simply solve quadratic equations, that moment marked the beginning of everything. I started exploring Python GUIs like Tkinter and PySimpleGUI to give my engineering problem-solving codes interactive UIs. However, I soon discovered that these Python GUIs fell short when it came to creating truly clean and interactive user experiences. That's when I discovered HTML and CSS—and as someone with a graphic design background, I fell in love with the infinite artistic possibilities of web development and modern frontend frameworks.
I have since went on to learn, improve and build several quality web and mobile applications with amazing teams of developers and designers using tools like React, React Native, JavaScript, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Bootstrap CSS, Sass/SCSS, Webpack, Vite etc.
I have also mastered Git for version control—a useful skill for organizing my projects and effectively collaborating with fellow developers. I use Git every day to manage code changes, work on various features at the same time with other developers and maintain a nice, clean project history.
I'm resourceful and inquisitive—that's how I'd describe myself. The thirst to solve problems completely, combined with creativity, is how I navigate through obstacles. I can't stress this enough: I'm curious by nature and love learning, which has helped me build a diverse range of skills and interests that feed into my development career in unexpected ways.
Fun fact: I have a genuine fascination with accents, dialects, and languages in general—though I only speak three fluently (for now at least).
