Won🎊 at Polkadot Global Hackathon 2025! 🏆 My project? OnchainCV- a decentralized platform for issuing and verifying credentials on-chain Check it out. on-chain-cv-gamma.vercel.app The journey has been so rewarding, and I am really grateful for mentorship through it all

Sometimes, the missing piece isn’t passion it’s access. Access to the right knowledge. Access to the right community. At Traders Connect by @OKX & @OKX_Africa, that’s exactly what I found thanks to @DecentrixAfrica and @Web3WayAfrica.

I remember when people could get $2,000 jobs just because they knew HTML, CSS, and a little JavaScript. In 2026, you need frontend, backend, DevOps, security, cloud, AI, design sense, product thinking, public speaking, and emotional intelligence before they even reply your email 😭

The official hackathon has finally kicked off @Zone01Kisumu lets go. #Zone01KisumiAgenticAI

Finally, the two months of January are ending with a mad AI hackathon. See the joy in faces. @Odinga_Val @oumaphilip01 @annitoto68 @anne_kadiso #Zone01kisumuAgenticAi
