Story
Eniola is not like other developers.
Not only because he loves debugging (yep, he really does) but also because at the ripe age of 17, he has already achieved so much. His success story is truly inspiring.
He’s been coding since age 12
Got a job in tech right out of high school
Completed the HNGi8 as a two-time finalist
Built hundreds of apps and projects
Is a self-taught developer
Started a community called GenzTechies
Ranks Top 1-2% of all developers on CodersRank
Eniola learned coding from his church where they offered regular training and mentorship. Then COVID hit, but it did not stop him from learning on his own.
He registered on CodersRank because he thought it was a nice platform to showcase his experience (which was WAY more than you’d expect any other 17-year-old to have). At the time of signup, he landed in the Top 5% of all developers on CodersRank.
He thought this was a cool achievement but never imagined that it would lead to anything but bragging rights.
Not long after, he got his first job offer via the platform!
Eniola’s story is a great example of just how impactful CodersRank can be. It not only provides companies with the best developers but also helps devs who HAVE the experience necessary but struggle to find their dream job.
We were honored to sit down with him for a chat!
