My tech journey started 14 years ago when I attended the Microsoft Train the Trainers program on Windows. It was a significant milestone for me, and I can vividly recall my first lecture at Apapa, Lagos. Back then, I was naive and unsure of what to expect, but I was determined to deliver the best lecture I could.
During that time, I had the support of Google observers who provided valuable insights and guidance. Their presence helped me gain confidence and reinforced my passion for technology and teaching. With their assistance, I successfully completed my first lecture and embarked on a journey that would shape my career.
Since then, I have dedicated myself to continuous learning and expanding my knowledge in the field of information and communication technology (ICT). Over the years, I have earned more than 10 ICT certificates, each representing a new skill or expertise I have acquired. These certificates have enabled me to stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in technology and strengthen my abilities as an ICT professional.
One notable achievement in my journey is being recognized as a digital ambassador and receiving the AU Agenda 2063 Digital Ambassador badge. This prestigious honor signifies my commitment to leveraging technology to drive positive change, particularly within the African Union's vision for the year 2063. As a digital ambassador, I actively promote digital inclusion, innovation, and sustainable development across the African continent.
Now, reflecting on my journey, I proudly introduce myself as Charles David Lapmoen, the Duke of Jos. Through years of dedication, perseverance, and a genuine passion for technology, I have transformed from a novice trainer into a seasoned professional with a wealth of experience in the ICT field.
I look forward to the future and the countless opportunities it holds for me to make a meaningful impact in the tech industry. My journey continues, and I am eager to embrace new challenges, acquire additional skills, and contribute to the growth and development of technology in my community, my country, and beyond.
Your Tech journey narration reminds me of Andre Onana's (Cameroun & Inter Milan goalkeeper) words:

More power to your elbow as you break new grounds!
