When Silvester Akakpo's father sparked his curiosity with the enigmatic world of computers, little did he know it would propel his son toward becoming Ghana's shining star in Microsoft Technologies. In a narrative as rich and diverse as the African continent itself, we follow Silvester's journey from familial influences in Togo and Germany to becoming an MVP—a tale spiced with his affection for continental cuisine and the universal language of football. As Silvester opens up about his initial dreams of piloting and how they gave way to a thriving IT career, listeners are treated to an intimate account of the potent blend of family, culture, and mentorship that fuels his drive and success.
Embark on an exploratory voyage into the realm of Power Apps with our latest MVP, where canvas apps paint the picture of innovation and model-driven apps lay the foundation. Silvester debunks myths about the MVP accolade, revealing its true essence as a recognition of community leadership and expertise rather than just a title. He generously shares the playbook for fostering a vibrant Microsoft community in Ghana, offering a trove of wisdom for tech enthusiasts aiming to claim their own MVP status. Join us as we uncover the secrets of consistent community engagement and the altruistic sharing of knowledge that not only elevates others but cements one's mastery of technology.
