He loves to play the piano and used the skill gained from the versatility of the piano to code and work on the computer.
In July 2019, he was the youngest speaker to perform at a technology talk in the ICTel Expo of the Lagos Chambers of Commerce and Industry.
He also created a Bridge Doctor App for quick search of home made disease remedies. The app was created when he lost his Aunt to breast cancer due to poor diagnosis.
Tech guru who is only child
The young boy also has a YouTube channel called Josfortech where he teaches coding broken down so much that a little child can understand it.
At the age of 12, he won the Indomie Heroes award for creating an app to help the blind after he visited them. He wanted to simplify things for them.
He also emerged winner of the MTN mPulse Hackathon themed ‘Beyond Covid’ due to his ‘Kagukar Study Buddie,’ a home-schooling, remote education and learning solution invented by the genius.
Now 13 years, he developed an app to help curb the exposure of children to swear words when surfing the internet. What the app does is to asterisk these words blocking the child from seeing the words.
Coding and helpful inventions are not the only things he does. He has also created games to help the mind relax.
It’s not surprising that the tech wonder also loved art and has admitted to dabbling into animation from time to time.
