  • Entrepreneurship- Lovable Shipped (6-Week Startup Program) at Lovable
    Jun 2025 - Jul 2025 · 2 mos

    During Lovable Shipped, I immersed myself in a 6-week founder-focused program where I took an idea from concept to product. The experience gave me the space to sharpen my passion for building a fintech, investment platform, and community-driven initiatives (Africa-Canadian Financial literacy Community Hub) — all aligned with my mission of creating impactful solutions for both Africa and the diaspora. I also grew my technical and product skills, learning to design, prototype, and launch with modern tools including: Supabase (backend + auth) Spline (3D & UI design) 24dev & Framer (no-code / low-code product building) This program helped me build confidence as a startup builder, strengthened my entrepreneurial mindset, and tied directly into the rest of my journey — combining finance, technology, and community empowerment.
