What did I achieve at 18? Hello everyone, the past one year has been one of the most rewarding seasons of my life. Balancing life as a student, freelancer, founder, software developer, and a build in public creator hasn’t been easy, but I’m grateful for how far I’ve come. While I haven’t achieved everything I set out to do, I’m proud of the progress I’ve made. Here are some of the biggest milestones I’ve reached as an 18 year old developer. 1. Launched Studeylearn (@studeylearn), an AI powered learning ecosystem for students, which now has over 600 users. 2. Scaled Campus Space (@campusspace_app), a social and business platform for campus students, to over 600 users. 3. Built Foodey (@foodey_app), a food delivery ecosystem, which is launching next month. 4. Registered Threndin (@threndin) as a private limited liability tech company. 5. Started building Coddle AI (@coddleai), an AI powered agentic workspace for product development. 6. Won 3 hackathon awards and another pitch competition. 7. Started a 365 Days of Code challenge and have stayed consistent, currently on Day 190. 8. Built a strong presence on X and LinkedIn by consistently building in public. 9. Successfully deployed multiple apps to the Play Store and App Store. 10. Worked with multiple clients and companies, both locally and internationally. 11. Served as the Director of ICT in my faculty (SICT FUTO), helping foster greater tech participation among students. 12. Received invitations to speak at multiple tech events. Looking back, I’m grateful for every opportunity, every challenge, every late night, every win, and even every setback. They’ve all played a part in shaping my journey. I’m excited for what the next year holds. We’re just getting started. I’m Ahiakwo John, Founder of Studeylearn, Software Engineer, and Product Builder. With over 4 years of experience. I’m open to partnerships, collaborations, opportunities, and conversations around technology, startups and AI.
