Beliefs
01
African startups should default to M-Pesa, not Stripe.
Building for African markets means starting with the rails Africans actually use. The African Stack is a moat, not a constraint.
02
Map the logic before you prompt the model.
Vibe-coding produces vibe-products. Comprehensive specs and clean handoffs to Claude Code beat reactive prompting every time.
03
Bootcamps that skip the African Stack train students for jobs that don't exist locally.
Curriculum should match the market. Mine does.

“I thoroughly enjoyed the 'Data Structures and Algorithms Simplified Bootcamp.' The combination of theory and practice was perfect for reinforcing my learning. The interactive coding challenges were engaging and helped solidify my understanding of how different data structures work. The instructor was always available to clarify doubts and provided valuable insights that went beyond the curriculum. This course has significantly boosted my problem-solving skills and prepared me for technical interviews. Thank you for an excellent learning experience!”
