IGIHE LTD Rwanda's Youngest and most successful start up

I have always worked for myself since i was 16, i don't know what being an employee (not self employed) means and i don't think i will ever know this for the rest of my life.

When i was young during the summer, my uncle used to give jobs to most of my brothers and cousins but i would usually decline and stick to working on many of my personal projects, most of which died, before being born.

Although being broke sometimes, my temper and personality wouldn't allow me to accept the fact that i could spend my whole life taking orders from somebody. Helping him/her achieve his life goals and dreams while keeping mine in the closets.

So i would sit for more than 20 hours per day, studying computer programming, and hoping that maybe someday i will be able to make a living out of it. (At the time i could not picture how anyone could use PHP or C++ to make money in Rwanda) 3 Years later here i am, CTO of IGIHE LTD! A Successful internet company that i started with a couple of friends! Currently About 20 employees.

Offering various services from IT consulting to Content development, Web design, Networking, ect. And the company is expending like nothing i could have expected back then. I love my job, cause it represents everything i had hoped for during my youth (hacker lifestyle).

And everyday the dream becomes more and more real. My advice, to anyone, never fail to live your dreams, when you wake up in the morning do whatever you can to turn them into reality, that is the purpose of life.

Hacker of Philosopher? i would call myself a thinker!

I feel safe when surrounded by computers lol ;) Addiction or passion? 

The Technical Team of IGIHE LTD young (average age 21) 

These offices remind me of facebook's or google's i am picturing the future of IGIHE
