Ridwan OlalereFounder

Nigeria - ND

I started out as a Wordpress theme developer for MyChinaals (BuddyPress), and ShenyangOnline out of my dorm room in Shenyang Aerospace University then transitioned to CodeIgniter developer using PHP. I also started writing small C and Java modules for the aircraft industry for my colleagues in school. In my final year as an aircraft major I developed a CATIA based software for automating the development of airplane models - the software worked with CATIA macros using VB6.

Since then I have never looked back. I experienced the explosion that happened to the WWW. Developed websites that receive over 100,000 page views per month, developed websites with SEO at the back of my mind and user experience in front of my eyes using A/B testing tools.

I currently work at Novatia Limited which I co-founded to develop mobile and web software to solve the problems faced by companies in Nigeria. For the past two years we have worked with Wema Bank, Access Bank, MoneyNetInt (UK), LeadCapital, Osun state government, and so on.
