$ whoami
I build infrastructure from Anambra, in southeast Nigeria. Not Lagos, not Abuja, but here — the part of the country the tech conversation forgot. I'm building from here to represent the people it overlooked.
I run Day Zero, a builders' community for engineers in the southeast who have the talent but not the exposure, and I lead the first AWS Student Builder Group at my university. Most of what I know, I learned by leading communities and breaking things in production, then writing down what happened.
The rest of this page is the system I'm running: what's shipped, what's deploying, and what's still in the queue.
From nothing, to everything.

Nine vouchers, one fixed order. The stack reads like a platform-engineering rollout: code → CI/CD → cloud → IaC → data → orchestration. Status is live.

~/unizik $ cat MISSION
I'm the founding Group Leader of the AWS Student Builder Group at UNIZIK — the first chapter at the university, part of a global program. I'm building it from zero: a real community where students ship something they can deploy, not just sit through slides.
The members platform is live at aws.unizikbuilders.tech — serverless, built on AWS, runs the whole join flow.
GOAL → grow a chapter that actually builds, ending the founding year with a flagship Student Community Day.
TAG → just show up and build. #ShowUpAndBuild
(Full playbook stays off GitHub. You get the headline, not the master plan.)

I write and record the work as I do it — debugging logs, decisions I had to make, things that broke and why. No hype.
$ uptime
Started from zero. Building in public from southeast Nigeria. Still shipping.
