My name is Abukari Einus, and I am a Fullstack Engineer based in Tamale, Ghana. Since I was in primary school, I've had a fascination for learning about the world of technology. I still recall how I initially felt when I learned about video games at my dad’s café.
I made the decision to start taking things seriously when I graduated from high school in 2018 and joined IPMC to do a software engineering course before enrolling in college. My first introduction to a programming language was C++, and I struggled to understand its foundations for weeks. I got introduced to HTML and CSS after creating a few terminal applications and after deciding I wanted to work on something more graphical and user-friendly. The following weeks were spent learning a lot and developing side ventures. I was able to develop frontend websites that were fully responsive after a month.
After a few months at IPMC, I made the decision to enroll in a college course in information technology. I spent my first year learning the fundamentals of IT, and during my second year, I helped initiate a tech hub with a few friends that was intended to use IT to solve complex problems in the Northern region of Ghana. I learned a lot about teamwork and gained some technical skills while I was at the hub working with the web development team.
After completing my undergraduate studies, I began my national service at University for Development Studies, where I built and maintained the institution's online application. I gained a lot of knowledge about Linux servers and how to set them up as well.
I also joined a health technology startup that aims to transform the way the world provides healthcare.
It’s been a long way coming, I am keen to learn more about The Hive community and its projects, as well as the technical aspects of building dApps on the blockchain. I believe that being part of this community will enable me to gain a deeper understanding of blockchain technology, smart contracts, and decentralized finance (DeFi), which will be valuable for me as a developer. I am excited to learn from the experts in The Hive community, contribute to its growth and success, and collaborate with others to build innovative and impactful dApps.
Finally, I want to express my gratitude to
