VOLUME II: Phasing Past a Broken Economy (Years 1–7).
Phase 1: The Foundation I Built as a Secondary School Science Student Before Chemical Engineering. ( Years 1–4) Being a secondary school student in Nigeria, one must pick sides early enough to start molding his/her future under the crushing weight of extreme pressure by the harsh economy we find our selves in. This was the foundation layer of my personal OS. It instilled in me a refusal to accept noise in my systems.

Many ask why a Full-Stack Developer would spend years studying thermodynamics and fluid mechanics. The answer lies in the concept of s ystems logic . In the first two years of my study in chemical engineering, I wasn't just learning how to calculate the flow rate of a liquid through a pipe; I was learning the u niversal laws of optimization . A chemical reactor is ...
