Hello,

Here's my Bio:

I am based in Nigeria. 

I have never worked in a software company after school. (Always being a     
freelance/self-taught developer)

I have 5 years experience in Java SE/EE 

I am good with HTML/PHP/JS/CSS... ANDROID/JAVAFX/SpringBoot .... 
NodeJS/VueJS (Introductory level)

I Don't mind forgetting what I know, just to get the offer of a Junior Entry         
Remote Developer and I can grow as i get familiar with the environment.

I know I am a good developer.

I work on freelancer.com already but i will prefer a stable remote offer

Most of my works are not online tho... they are lying on my laptop.


I will be glad if there's any one willing to risk hiring me


Cheers.

My First ever coding experience

Sometimes in October 2011, I was privileged to commence my university education at Bowen University
I had just been out of secondary school and tried gaining admission into one of the federal schools but eventually did not work out.

I naively gained admission into the department of computer science not knowing what was actually done there but because I thought I could do some funny things with my mobile phone then like ( browse, download, and then some funny tech support that seemed amazing to my parents and friends ).

My first day in the computer lab (lectures had already begun when I resumed), we were given the challenge to write a code that finds the nth term of an arithmetic series.

I never knew anything about programming, but from the lady, I was paired with, I was able to pick up some few things like how printing on screen, assigning values to a variable and performing calculation was done.

With this quick knowledge, I hurriedly wrote the formula to calculate the A.P of a number on paper (my brain was super hot in mathematics)

Tn = a1 + (n — 1)d

[ Where a1 is the first term, d is the common difference and n is the number of terms in the series]

and after, I translated it to the equivalent QBASIC code and my code worked.

That was how the love of programming was ignited in my heart.

I look back at that moment and I cherish it so much.

And Yes, my first programming language was QBasic :)

Can you share how you got introduced to programming ?

The Ethics code

Hello, I am happy to have stumbled on this website when I came across a post that taught me how to expose my localhost host to the internet for remote access.

I went through some posts and I see this is a good platform to share my thoughts as I progress in my programming career.

Talking about ethics, I'll like to know your thoughts about a situation I found myself in a few days back.

I got a job with a client and he requested I create a simple android app that can be used to store a user basic bio-data.

The twist in this was that he said I should also upload their GPS location, contacts and SMS as CSV files when they click on the signup.

I actually created the app and it's working well. But I didn't eventually deliver it to the client simply because I wasn't comfortable with the privacy issue.

I will like to know what you would have done if you were in my shoes and support your choice of action with arguments.
