Hello Steemit!, We are NerdGarage

Over time I've been seeing two (2) major gaps (problems) and the need to fill it (solve it);

1. There is a need for rich Technologies and quality applications to be built to solve problems and develop the "next big thing".
2. There is a high level of unemployability in our society (Not unemployment). I see a lot of talents wasting and not being well harnessed and utilized to improve our overall average standard of living.

As a result of these two major needs, NerdGarage was born. A Digital Tech Agency doubled as a Physical I.T hub where youths get trained, youths use as a workspace and tech (Mobile, Web and Cloud Solutions) projects get done while every party (The Clients, Users and our Nerds) all get happy. A classic and lively environment where geeks and nerds meet to rub minds and get busy with the "next big thing". In no time a very good friend and student of mine @afeezawoyemi who believes and sees great prospects to my visions joined me and we set out to make big things happen. Despite the fact that we have financial constraints but supercharged with the morale to get involved in the next big thing, we pursued our goals steadily and resiliently. A month after we started, we had a total of three (3) interns on site and two (2) remotely.

Recently I indicated interest in working on the long-awaited great platform: Steemgigs (Where everyone has something to offer), a brilliant idea by Sir Terry @surpassinggoogle and we were given a shot to make it happen. We built steemgigs from scratch using VueJS (frontend) and Express (backend) relying solely on the steem blockchain. We successfully handled operations on the platform without having contact with users' keys (for the sake of privacy and guide against theft of users funds) with the help @busy Steemconnect sc2-SDK. I said in one of my recent posts: "Steemgigs is the most exciting project I've worked on". Being an open source project, we learnt a lot from it. We implore everyone to contribute to it to make the platform greater and better. Utopian.io is there to reward every valuable contribution made to the great project. Utopian.io is a platform that rewards open source contributions (in case you've never heard utopian before). Check out utopian.io
