I've worked with Afrokk before on GeeksULTD and we collaborated on the Litmus project. He's grown tremendously from being a newbie coder to feeling comfortable with several technologies like TypeScript, React, SASS, Git, and more, all while juggling college work and his YT channel. Excited to see more from him soon.
