Hi, I’m Choice 👋🏽
I’m a Ruby on Rails developer with a background in chemistry — but really, I’m someone who’s rebuilding life from the inside out.
My journey into tech wasn’t linear. Like many Nigerians, I studied something safe (Chemistry), even though I’d always loved computers. Life happened, and I took detours that forced me to pause, reflect, and reimagine everything. Coding became more than a skill; it became a language of healing, structure, and hope.
Since transitioning, I’ve built full-stack apps like ShopMe (e-commerce), DevConnect (developer community), and I’m currently working on TextMe, a real-time chat app. I’ve used tools like:
- Ruby on Rails (8), SolidQueue for background jobs
- AWS S3 for image storage
- React, Firebase, TailwindCSS, Bootstrap
- I’m also learning Django and Next.js 🌱
But beyond the tech, I’m creating soulful, user-centered projects — the kind that feel like quiet spaces on the internet. My content brand DearChoice is where I share faith, healing, and growth. My passion project Yardly aims to help communities in Nigeria discover local talents and preserve culture — online.
Why I’m on Dev.to (again)
I want to connect with devs who are learning with heart. Who are figuring things out slowly. Who care about the why, not just the how.
If that sounds like you, let’s chat 🤝
Let’s build, share, reflect — and grow better together. ✨
