My Story, What Drives Me, Beyond Work

My name is Feyijimi Erinle, or you can call me ERIN, and I live in Lagos, Nigeria. Looking back, I've always been the kind of person who was curious about how computers and the internet worked. I loved tinkering with phones, trying out new tools, and imagining what it would be like to build something of my own.

That curiosity didn't fully take shape until my final year at the University of Lagos, where I studied Actuarial Science. At the time, I had no clear direction on what to do after graduation. One day, someone came to our department to share a flyer about learning Python. That small moment of curiosity was the spark that set me on a completely new path.

From that point, I dove headfirst into programming, teaching myself through online resources, building small projects, and learning by doing. It wasn't always easy—there were moments of frustration and self-doubt—but I kept going because I genuinely loved solving problems with code.

Today, I work as a software engineer and technical writer, and I've found that my favorite part of the job isn't just writing code—it's explaining it. I love breaking down complex ideas into clear, simple language that anyone can understand. Whether it's through documentation, tutorials, or open-source contributions, I'm passionate about making technology more accessible.

Outside of work, I'm into fitness, music, and exploring new places when I get the chance. I also enjoy connecting with other developers and creators, sharing what I've learned, and learning from others in return.

At the core of it all, I'm someone who believes in continuous growth—both as a developer and as a person. I'm always looking for the next challenge, the next thing to learn, and the next way to make an impact.
