My name is Bolaji, and I prefer to be called Sample (a nickname I gave myself). I am super passionate about software engineering and 3D graphics. I've got some experience in 3D graphics, but my laptop wasn't good enough to take it further.
For the past 1 years, I've been working as a frontend developer, building applications that run on the web. Before that, I completed multiple internships to gain industry experience and build my skills. I was a finalist in HNGX, which was awesome - I ranked in the top 400 out of 11,000 participants! I have loved getting guidance from senior devs and learning from my mistakes. My latest side project is a ticketing platform where users can create events, buy tickets, and check in. Event creators can see all the stats, like ticket sales.
When I am not coding, you can find me watching movies, planning my return to gaming (FIFA, anyone?), or taking a stroll. My goals include leveling up my skills in backend development with Java and Spring Boot, and maybe even pursuing a master's degree.
I'm all about learning, creating, and pushing myself to be a better developer. Welcome to my portfolio, where you can check out my projects and see what I am all about!
