Victor started using a computer at the age of 12, initially learning basic operations from his father. His interest in web development was sparked when his cousin began learning HTML and CSS at a computer school. Victor's first foray into programming was during his secondary school years when he created a simple Android app that contained physics laws and their formulas.

Victor pursued his National Diploma in Computer Engineering at Heritage Polytechnic from February 2017 to August 2018. During this time, he learned about electricity, electronic parts, report writing, and various aspects of hardware and software. He switched to Computer Science for his Higher National Diploma, which he completed between February 2020 and August 2021. During his HND, he taught interested classmates about C++, Pascal, and SQL, and learned about the laws regulating tech in his country, the basics of business in tech, the evolution of programming, and the basics of artificial neural networks.
