A Software Engineer with an eye for delivering wholesome value quickly to users.
Hi 👋🏽, I am Bright Williams, a dedicated professional with a diverse background in software engineering, product management, and data analysis. My journey into technology started because I had a simple yet challenging goal of building an "Uber for Trucks" web platform as my final year project at my undergrad with less than a years worth of experience learning software engineering. I did it! And it changed my life.
Over the last 6 years, I've worked in the logistics, finance, and B2B retail industry building hardware and software to make them better. One product at a time; one company at a time. I haven't been successful with all of them but I do have a lot of stories to tell from them. Take them as my badges of honor! Haha! But I definitely have tasted success in quite a number of my ventures.
What sets me apart is my ability to lead with empathy, think critically, adapt quickly to new challenges, and just get things done no matter how tough it gets. I am winner of the Facebook Accelerator grant, as well as the Tony Elumelu Foundation grant. A post-grad scholar of the Nigerian University of Technology and Management where I studied Entreprenuership, Technology and Design. A graduate of the Federal University of Technology, Akure, where I studied Transport Management Technology.
In my free time I play chess (still under 2100 on lichess haha) and play the guitar. Oh, and I am in love with Jesus Christ, my personal Lord and saviour. Ask me about Him sometime 🙂
