DevFest brings together community members and tech enthusiasts who are shaping the future of Android, web, IoT, Robotics, AI and Cloud technologies for sessions, workshops and networking. it’s the biggest end of the year event and the magic of DevFest has always come from the people involved from all different backgrounds and skill level.
Furthermore, with your support we are targeting to attract as many audiences as possible. This event is a great opportunity to bring our Borno State tech communities into the limelight and gain as much exposure as possible and as well to inspire tech enthusiasts.
Later year we hosted Devfest 2021, which held on 25th November, 2021 at the El-kanemi hall university of Maiduguri. We feel like as a host we are overwhelmed with participants from all across the city. The event had also led to few important collaborations and remarkable results.

So I was born and raised in Biu, Borno state. I didn't know I will be a great software engineer then, but God Knew, He actually crafted the whole thing in me. My parents didn't know either, they're yet to figure out what exactly I do for a living (lol). My Mom is lovely, but I think she's suspecting me😊.
I studied computer science in A.B.U zaria, I was told that I will immediately get a Job if I graduate with a first-class, I got the first-class, but not the Job. So I just kept coding and here I am building a system for one of the world's leading financial solutions provider, Kunaico, California. Prior to that, I had the opportunity of working as a software engineer on diverse solutions both within and outside the country, and it's been quite exciting.
I live in Kaduna, Alone. And while writing this, I forgot some eggs on gas, and they got burnt beyond recognition. I feel bad about it, but It's Okay, life was never designed to be smooth.
I will be 28 years old next month, and I'm having mixed feelings about it 😊
