Ahmed Tijani (ThatBrokeFriend) - Nigerian Programmer and job tolk Founder

About Me

From Nigeria to the World

I'm Ahmed Tijani, but most people know me as ThatBrokeFriend. I'm a Nigerian programmer and product creator on a mission to revolutionize how freelancers connect and work across Africa.

My journey started with a simple belief: technology should empower people, not complicate their lives. This philosophy led me to create job tolk, a TikTok-style platform that's changing how freelancers showcase their skills and connect with opportunities.

Beyond coding, I'm deeply rooted in my Deen and believe in building products that create genuine value. I spend my time thinking about the future of work, the potential of African tech talent, and how we can build a more connected, opportunity-rich continent.
