David was awarded a fully funded scholarship for a Master of Business Administration (MBA) program at Quantic School of Business and Technology in the United States, which he started in March 2022.
Having a strong drive and determination, David was intensely motivated to achieve success. Two months after he started the MBA program, he got another fully funded scholarship for a master’s program in Technological Entrepreneurship at Innopolis University, Russia.
”I was so hungry for success and my mantra “sharks are born swimming” hunted me intensely to do more and stay in the grind,” he said.
After completing his MBA, David proceeded to study for his second master’s program immediately. He earned a master’s in Technological Entrepreneurship with a 4.95 cumulative grade point and a Russian red diploma for his outstanding performance.
For the two-year academic journey, David experienced so much growth in business and life. At Innopolis University, he was taught how to build apps using NoCode Development and Flutter Development.
He got attached to Nocode Development because of how useful it is in helping startup founders and business owners turn their ideas into mobile or web apps without writing code in a matter of weeks instead of months.
David mentioned that the academic journey was not smooth as he faced some challenges, including losing 1 million rubles, a 10,000-dollar grant from FASIE. All his colleagues who applied for the grant got it, and even though he was not awarded, he felt fortunate.
Not giving up, David he went ahead to start Nocode Africa and NALA, a web platform that allows one to learn how to build mobile and web apps without coding from video courses created by Nocode Developers.
Presently, NALA has received three times the grant money in 10 months of launching. David expressed his excitement for not earning a grant as losing the funds gave him more reasons to succeed.
Highlighting his other accomplishments, David said he has trained over 5k+ people across different countries of the world on how to build mobile and web apps without coding.
David’s trainees are students, startup founders, entrepreneurs, and business owners who now have functional products built without coding in weeks.
