Why I Chose Tech: The Drive to Create Impact and Deliver Value as a Young Innovator – Moses Monday.
In a world rapidly transformed by digital innovation, many young people are gravitating toward technology. For me, the decision to pursue a path in tech in 2010 wasn’t just about chasing trends or financial gain it was rooted in a deep desire to create impact and add meaningful value to the world around me.
From an early age, I recognized the powerful role technology plays in shaping society. Whether it’s connecting remote communities, streamlining education, or transforming how businesses operate, technology has become the heartbeat of global progress. But what truly inspired me was the realization that one doesn’t need to be wealthy or well-connected to make a difference in tech. All that’s required is passion, skill, and the right mindset.
As a young person, I found that tech offered me a blank canvas to solve real-world problems creatively. Every line of code, every digital product, every system design is a step closer to making someone’s life easier, better, or more productive. This sense of purpose of building solutions that touch lives became my greatest motivation.
Moreover, the tech industry encourages continuous learning and innovation. It challenges me to stay curious, adaptable, and collaborative. Through this journey, I’ve been able to help local businesses grow their digital presence, assist nonprofits in streamlining their operations, and mentor fellow youth on digital literacy. Each of these experiences reminded me that true success in tech is measured not just in profits, but in the value we deliver and the lives we impact..
