Tech Trivia with Adaeze Cynthia, Software Developer at Fowgate

In 2026, Tech and Web3 continue to redefine how we build, interact, and experience the digital world. Web3 (short for “Web 3.0”) is the next evolution of the internet, leveraging blockchain technology to create a decentralised web where users own their data, digital assets, and identity.

Moving away from centralised platforms, it offers a peer-to-peer, secure system enabling decentralised finance (DeFi), NFTs, and decentralised autonomous organisations (DAOs).

Today’s tech trivia spotlights Adaeze Cynthia Ndu, a Frontend Developer at Fowgate,  an enterprise software solutions company that helps businesses innovate processes and streamline operations.

She is an enthusiastic tech professional who has been working across the Web2 and Web3 ecosystems, specifically on projects like Bugen Bot. Adaeze has spent time building out trading interfaces and exploring tools like Account Abstraction on Ethereum and Solana to make on-chain interactions easier for everyone.

“I’m really passionate about building clean, user-friendly interfaces that make decentralised tech feel as smooth and accessible as the everyday web,” Adaeze said. She added that when she is not building, she spends time as a Technical Tutor at TechXagon Academy. 

“It’s been a great experience mentoring new developers in React and Tailwind CSS and helping them find their footing in the industry,” she added.

1. Summarise your mornings in one sentence

My typical morning kicks off with a 7:00 am stand-up meeting to coordinate on frontend tasks before I dive into building accessible interfaces and mentoring developers. 

2. Describe your gadget setup

My workspace is a simple, functional corner where I do my best thinking and building. The setup is centred around my laptop paired with a larger monitor, which gives me the extra screen space I need to manage my code and designs side by side.

Having that broader view is especially helpful during my early 7 AM stand-ups or when I’m fine-tuning interfaces to ensure they feel accessible. 

3. What tech tools/ applications do you use the most for work?

Visual Studio Code. 

4. What do you do when you need inspiration?

When I feel stuck, I often take a nap to “clear my head” and clear the mental fog. It’s amazing how a quick reset allows my brain to debug complex problems and find fresh, creative solutions that I couldn’t see while staring at the screen.

5. What mobile application can you not do without daily?

Banking apps.

6. What tech solution do you wish someone had created?

I wish someone would create a universal, friction-free “Identity Bridge” that allows users to move between decentralised apps as easily as the everyday web, without the technical burden of managing multiple wallets and security keys. 

7. If you have unlimited time and money, what problem would you solve?

If I had unlimited time and money, I would establish a global, open-source technical incubator that provides free high-end hardware and mentorship to aspiring developers in underserved communities, ensuring that talent and not financial privilege are the only requirements for building the future of technology for everyone.

8. Which woman in tech inspires you the most?

I am deeply inspired by Odunayo Eweniyi, the co-founder of PiggyVest. Her ability to build a secure, user-centric platform that simplified financial technology for millions of Nigerians is incredible.

As a developer, I admire how she focuses on solving real-world problems through accessible design and consistent engineering, showing that women can lead at the highest levels of tech while making a tangible impact on people’s lives. 

9. Which profound statement inspires you the most?

One profound statement that inspires me the most is “The only way to do great work is to love what you do,” by Steve Jobs.

It inspires me to stay curious and dedicated as I build simple, accessible technology that makes a meaningful difference. 

10. Whose women in tech trivia would you love to read?

I would love to read a trivia fromAda Nduka Oyom, the founder of She Code Africa.

Her journey from being a self-taught software engineer to building a community that has impacted over 17,000 women is so inspiring, and I’d love to learn more about the early days of her career and her vision for the future of African tech.
