Decided to document the journey here on X.
I am a Data Science student at UNILAG, focused on Data Analysis, ML, and the strategy behind the code.
I will be sharing my progress and the lessons I learn along the way.
Hello World.
What if you could verify a product before buying it?
Because a lot of us know this feeling:
“What I ordered” vs “What I got”
I built ClaimCheck to bridge the gap
A Jumia claim verification tool that benchmarks seller's claims against real customer experiences
A thread 🧵
Great experience @OfficialSquadCo hackathon. 3 technical tests including a leetcode problem, tested teams on critical thinking and working under pressure. We were able to solve one out of the 2 making it to the 58th place out of 1600+ applicants. The DSA journey begins

After participating in about 15 hackathons, winning 12 across both national and international stages, judging hackathons, and mentoring a full team that went on to win, I’ve learned a lot from both wins and losses.
Some of the hackathons I’ve won include Microsoft-organized hackathons, Càvistà, Squad, HelpMum, Fusion Fest Tech, Cardano, AI for Social Impact, Sui, Remostart, and the Cyber AI Hackathon organized by the American Society of Engineers.
I put together something practical from all of this experience. Real lessons that actually matter in hackathons, from how to approach a problem, build the right team, pitch properly, handle demos, and position your solution in a way judges actually understand.
If you’re participating in hackathons, this will really help you think differently and strategize better.
Good luck in your future hackathons 🚀

Nice event Build with AI @gdgoc_unilag
Didn't quite manage to get the deployment live in time to snag the swag😅 from @Geektutor but here it is https://t.co/Lx3Q0VmPRj
Most people are still trying to figure out what it really means to be “in tech” and what it actually takes to grow as a developer.
I wrote a structured piece breaking this down from a real perspective, experience and lessons from the journey.
If you’re learning, building, or feeling stuck, this might shift how you think about becoming a better developer.
I’d really appreciate your feedback, and kindly share it with others who might need it.
Thank you.
