Back from Exam Season. Now I'm Building Something Bigger.

Exams are done. To the glory of God. Now the real work begins — AccessBuild.

I've been quiet again. But this time, it was for a good reason.

Exams are finished. To the glory of God.

If you've been following my build logs, you know the pattern: I build, I disappear for exams, I come back, I build again. This semester was brutal. Multiple courses. Long nights. The usual stress of being a software engineering student who's also trying to ship real projects.

But I made it through. And now I have space again.

The Break Wasn't a Pause on Everything

Even during exam season, I was building in the background. I remade several portfolio sites:

  • A luxury restaurant site (Onyx Dining)
  • A premium law firm site (Meridian Law Chambers)
  • A car dealership site (AutoLux Motors)
  • A salon site (Dexter Salon)

Each one a full multi-page build. Each one with working forms, professional design, and real attention to detail. My portfolio is sharper now than it was before the break.

What's Coming Next: AccessBuild

You might remember my accessibility audit from the Phone Agent build logs. I discovered something that's been sitting in my chest since then:

100% of Nigerian banking apps are completely inaccessible to visually impaired users.

Not one. Not most. ALL of them. Scored F on my audit. Invisible to screen readers. Unusable by millions of people.

That discovery became an idea. The idea became a plan. And now that exams are done, I have the space to build it.

AccessBuild is an AI-powered accessibility audit tool for mobile apps. It automatically tests apps, scores them from A to F, and tells developers exactly what to fix. The goal: make African apps accessible to everyone—not just the ones who can see.

I've already drafted the business plan. The revenue model. The target audience. The grant application. The foundation is ready.

Now it's time to build.

What to Expect

I'll be documenting the AccessBuild journey the same way I documented the Phone Agent—public build logs, honest challenges, real progress. No hype. Just building.

The first step: turning the manual audit methodology into an automated engine. The Phone Agent already has the vision system. AccessBuild repurposes it from automation to auditing.

If you're interested in accessibility, AI, or just watching someone build something meaningful from scratch—stick around. This one's going to be bigger.

The Repo

The Phone Agent is still here: github.com/Dexter2344/phone-agent

AccessBuild gets its own repo soon. I'll share when it's live.
