Since I’ve added some more number of followers…… Let me reintroduce myself properly I’m David Uchenna (friends call me Dave). I’m a software/embedded systems engineer. Basically I bully computers into doing stuff, building websites, mobile apps, backend systems, and messing with embedded stuff sometimes. Right now I’m the Lead Engineer at @flinckapp. It’s an agricultural social marketplace that connects farmers and people in the ag space. We launched on the Play Store, hit over 200+ users in the first 3 months. My job is building and scaling the product so it actually helps real farmers and ag folks connect and do business. Outside of Flinck, I stay busy with side projects and client work. Recently I built a lead generation tool that saves freelancers hours, you just type a niche (like “dentists in Lagos”) and it searches the web, pulls public emails & phone numbers, then spits everything out as a clean CSV or even ready for WhatsApp. I also built a full website for my aunt’s fashion brand and I’ve worked on projects for other clients & companies, but they’re NDA. I’ve done hackathons too (won 3, made top 10 globally in one recently) and I’m currently in a remote lead backend engineer role. I love building in public. You’ll see me posting about what I’m coding, the tools & frameworks I’m trying (yes I have opinions), wins, fails, and random dev life stuff. I’m just a young engineer grinding, shipping products, and sharing the journey. I’m open to collabs, opportunities, feedback, or just chatting about code and ideas. DMs are always open ya!

veriadd.tech/docs the docs covers that reason 🤗

In Nigeria, staying focused on long-term foundations can be tough, but few things are more rewarding. Our people deserve that investment. What this developer is building with the new postcode system shows what Nigerians can do when those foundations are in place. This government is committed to laying many more. To our builders: the postcode is yours to build on. What will you create?

hi @Postcode_ng Veriadd’s request to move from L1 to L3 is still “under review”.

happy to resubmit whatever’s missing

moniepoint and opay didn’t verify my address. they sent a person. to my house. to confirm i live where i said i live the agent they sent somehow, always got lost an i had to give one of ‘em transportation fair because he spent more than his budget that’s still how address verification works for a lot of fintechs. pay an agent, wait days, all for one yes/no. the agent’s whole job is checking a door.

Veriadd checks the nipost postcode, then cross-checks bvn / nin / phone all in one request instead of sending a human to my gate. veriadd.daviduchenna.me

this friend of mine wanna learn a tech and is asking me for advice…. i don’t even know which skill to tell him to learn

A lot of the software businesses depend on is open source, and keeping it useful takes real work: fixing bugs, writing documentation, reviewing contributions and maintaining releases. FLOSSAfrica gives people and companies a way to fund African builders doing that work.

Let's do $1,000 in November. If you are interested in funding the Open Source maintainers in Africa contribute to the pool for November flossafrica.com/pools/flossa…

Congratulations cool thing the first payout of FLOSS pool happened on our dear country’s independence I want @flossafrica to be paying our hundreds of dollars even thousand soon Stay tuned. I am cooking

i made my first money from building open-source projects guys🥹 omg i’m so happy 🤭!!! thank you so much @flossafrica

how do y’all handle SSR without next js?

muse spark is crazy, i just built a fully fledged e-commerce web app with admin panel, and all it consumed was just 22% of my usage

That’s why the country isn’t getting better and the money keeps circulating amongst the same set of people Why gatekeep a CV? Like are you actually normal? Anyways…it is well 🥱

Good morning 🌞 Onboarding for @flinckapp

imagine your users are spinning up new accounts to farm the free trials. how are you actually blocking that in production?
email? device? card? or you just eat it?

My ex that i was begging for cold outreach message template for one year she refused to give me. This was someone i wrote her whole financial plan for her grant that changed her life. She's busy now telling everyone she's kind i didn't value her. Humans like this dey

Scarcity mindset Africans are always scared of losing the piece of the pie they manage to get!
