HOW I Started From Scratch...

I started from scratch in the early 2000s, learning computers on my own despite coming from a modest family in a village where tech knowledge was rare. Skipping traditional schooling, I focused on self-education, doing part-time jobs, and exploring various side hustles like buying and selling cell phones. My passion for technology and business grew as I learned to navigate software, hardware, and emerging internet platforms like Google and Facebook. In 2013, I founded Wordsense, a company that slowly grew with the support of a dedicated team. The COVID-19 pandemic forced me to shut down my business, but I used that setback as a chance to rebuild and expand even stronger. Wordsense evolved into a successful tech company, generating millions in revenue and creating jobs for youth. My journey taught me the importance of self-accountability, resilience, and ignoring critics to focus on growth. Today, I continue to lead Wordsense with the motto “onwards and upwards” grateful for the right people and timing that helped me succeed.
