According to him, after entering university, he began to face significant financial challenges that sadly lasted throughout his university years. To survive the harsh reality, he had to work as a private tutor and play piano at events in exchange for money.
He said:
"I struggled financially and took on private tutoring and piano gigs outside school to keep up, working with the skill I had at the time.".
He also revealed that he never secured a hostel inside the campus throughout his academics, but he often squatted with friends and slept on floors, chairs, and concrete surfaces.
Then, he decided to reinvent himself by saving up to purchase a portable laptop that made him go into the tech space. In 2022, he began pursuing software engineering seriously and applied to numerous tech companies. Despite attending several interviews, he said he was constantly getting rejected.
