The 1st

I call this space The 1st Gen — an online diary of what it means to grow up between cultures, chasing a career in tech while carrying stories from Spain, Nigeria, and the UK. Here you’ll find reflections on identity, growth, and the small lessons I pick up along the way. It’s not about being perfect — it’s about being honest. This isn’t a brand polished for clicks.
