About Brindocorp:

Brindocorp is an IT company that renders satisfying, cost effective and innovative solutions. Our main objective is to create top-notch satisfaction for our clients, by means of services that we render to them. We do this by incessantly improving development of software, using the vibrancy of youth and mind blowing technology.

It is a pity that we didn't know much about blockchain technology before our inception. We hail from Nigeria and sometimes information stays hidden for years. In cases like this, you need a mentor for guidance. 
Then we heard about steem technology!

Brindocorp is founded by me, Segun Joshua (CEO) and my friends and business partners Itoro Bassey and Alex Ahuose who are students of reputable educational institutions in Nigeria. 

Recently though, we have added one more partner to take up role of CTO for Brindocorp, in the person of Japhet Akande, a programmer and developer. This is the case as Itoro Bassey has to go back to complete his University Studies. 

Me and Japhet Akande co-founded another tech-startup called TheTechLicense


We are set to innovate and create ideas to supersede competition. Until now, we have targeted Africa in general but we evolve really fast and now with knowledge of steem technology, we intend to upgrade in possibilities.

Yesterday, we spoke with @surpassinggoogle who has brought us here, about the far-reaching possibilities of steemit. He has put us in a state of excitement based on the manner in which he has explained steemit. Ultimately, he expressed the possibilities of using steem as a means to expand our vision. 
You will easily see steemit upon first glance as simply a blogging interface but he is opening our eyes to the steem blockchain itself. Being a group of developers, this is interesting!

All our software is remarkably designed and implemented. Our innovation is our trademark, which makes us stand tall in a crowd.

Every member of our team is a functional player and all play important roles during project execution. We are all set to work as a team when solving problems and we hope to do the same here on steemit.

The working structure at Brindocorp is a simple organizational work-through, which involves knowing the full capacity & capabilities of all team-players. Then we allocate each duty accordingly till the conclusion of projects, after which we apply a separate level of organization, for find loop-holes throughout the evolution of the project so as to fix them.

We don't know fully yet how steem works but we have @surpassinggoogle as our guide and mentor to begin with. Ultimately, adding a technology like steem to the way we work is mind-blowing opportunity. Hopefully, we can bring our expertise in itself, to steem. 

According to @surpassinggoogle, there is avenue for that as he spoke about decentralization and about SteemJS and about steem being open-source.

We don’t just accept change - we celebrate it, we support it, and we thrive on it for the benefit of our employees, our products and our community. 

Brindocorp is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace. This is an aspect about steemit that's also interesting as it is obvious that there is a community here.


People make Brindocorp thrive. We hire people who are smart and determined, and we favor ability over experience. Although Brindogeeks share common goals and visions for the company, we hail from all walks of life and speak different types of languages, reflecting the global audience that we serve. 

When not at work, Brindogeeks pursue interests ranging from cycling to soccer, from swimming to gaming. With @surpassinggoogle plans with onboarding here, we plan on bringing each member of our growing team on steemit, with their personal accounts, while reserving @brindocorp for releasing updates and blogging about our evolution and things that have to do with software development. 

A major part of Brindocorp is ISDEV (Innovative Software Developers) Hackathon, which has been elaborated on, by @surpassinggoogle in a post here

We will also leave updates on its progress on @brindocorp blog. 

The next version of the Hackathon will hold August 24 - 26, 2017 and we are in talks with @surpassinggoogle to integrate a steemit agenda into the event as steem technology aligns with our goals to direct youths in Africa to a career in Information Technology. 

Knowledge is power and so is this new knowledge about the steem blockchain.

As a blogging platform, @surpassinggoogle spoke of steemit's top-notch SEO and how we stand to gain more exposure in the search engines if we moved our blogging here. This is logical, considering that steemit.com appears to incentivize blogs and ofcourse this is interesting too, thus, the need to write a breakdown of our company and its vision here.

Our vision is our pride and it is what keeps us moving! Our vision is to be a first choice software development company and be the best among the best, in solving general problems and bring lasting solutions to them, we are believers of “it can be done” as we exclude "IMPOSSIBILITY" when rendering a project. 

Too, we aim to bring lasting impact upon the world as whole by empowering youths in developing nations with the power of knowledge.

A BRIEF HISTORY ABOUT BRINDOCORP

Segun Joshua now 20 years of age founded Brindocorp, while studying Industrial Maintenance Engineering at Yaba College of Technology, Nigeria. 

A keen computer programmer, Segun Joshua had already developed a number of websites, for different individuals and companies and also fellow students, including 9jarising, which allows talented musicians in Africa to promote their songs for free. 

In August 2016, Segun Joshua decided to invite his cousin Itoro Bassey, a student of electrical electronics at the University of Lagos, who became a co-founder and the sales director of the team because of his marketing and verbal skills. The Brindocorp team was later joined by Ahuose Alex and Vanessa Osuka, who are the Chief business officer and Chief operating officer respectively. There has been recent improvements to our core team more recently as cited much earlier in this post. We also have several other youths in all other capacities, mostly students who we will gradually bring on steemit, with the help of @surpassinggoogle

He also plans to have talks about steemit with all the tech-startups that we are linked with as well as those that participated in ISDEV Hackathon 2016; the likes of  GoSlowYarn etc.

This will happen gradually and fully, with a potential steemit integration on August 24 - 26; the days for ISDEV 2017 HACKATHON.


Accomplishments

Among other things, we accomplished a successful ISDEV Hackathon 2016 in Nigeria, which hosted several Nigerian-based tech-startups who participated in contests overseen by IT veteran judges.  


"GoSlowYarn was a by-product of ISDEV Hackathon 2016".



We have also been able to empower many youths in Nigeria into becoming Ethical hackers, Software Developers, Programmers etc with ISDEV Hackathon 2017 set to host a competition for Hardware invention in addition to the usual software hackathon. Read more about ISDEV Hackathon 2017: (https://www.eventbrite.com/e/isdev2017-hackathon-tickets-32011606577)

Brindocorp is working tirelessly on creating its second, third and fourth mobile applications which would be launched by September 2017. 

Our second web and mobile application is set to help solve the challenges in receiving courier services at the users’ convenience and on time. Something that is needed in the Nigerian economy. You can see a prototype on: http://brindocorp.website/


Urgent Plans

1. To hold a successful ISDEV 2017 HACKATHON.

2. To learn more about steem technology and blockchain before ISDEV 2017 HACKATHON, in order to be capable as a virtual steemit representative during the event, while @surpassinggoogle handles major proceedings involving the actual process of getting participants of the Hackathon, to bring their teams on steemit.

3. To bring as many members of our team, especially the core members onboard steemit.com, before ISDEV 2017 HACKATHON.

4. Organize plans to seamlessly integrate steemit with ISDEV 2017 HACKATHON as we expect several Nigerian tech-startups at the event as well hundreds of tech-enthusiasts as well as judges, who are veterans in their respective fields. Plans to host the event has been in motion for months and a venue is in place as seen in the pictures above.


All other plans will evolve gradually @brindocorp will release updates to this effect!

Being that this is our introductory post, we will leave talks about ISDEV 2017 HACKATHON for our next post, to see how we can make steemit part of our event. 

It doesn't feel like we are new to steemit because @surpassinggoogle has existed has a mentor to most of us all along and this helps matter. Being that we want to empower youths of Africa with technology, it only makes perfect sense that we should have a steemit agenda in ISDEV 2017 HACKATHON.

We have started this journey, thus, this a glimpse into some promotional banners, we have started designing to integrate steemit into our core values:
