What Inspired My Blog Launch & What Content Awaits You

Hi, I’m Abu-Bak’r Mufutau-Oseni, and I’m glad you’re here.

I’m a software engineer and digital creator. I started Not Just an Engineer to share more than just lines of code or debugging tips. This blog is where I’ll talk tech, yes, but also finances, mindset, creativity, personal growth, and the experiences shaping my journey.

Why? Because engineers, like anyone else, are more than their job titles. We’re creators, thinkers, investors, problem-solvers and humans with stories and struggles outside of work.

Here’s what you can expect:

• Tech deep dives – Java, JavaScript, Cloud, Machine Learning, AI, and whatever I’m learning next

• Personal finance & investing – lessons from building long-term financial freedom

• Mindset & motivation – insights from wins, failures, and everything in between

• Life beyond the terminal – career tips, gym days, reflections, and growth

And this is just the start, Not Just an Engineer will also grow into a podcast in the near future, bringing these conversations to life in a new way.

Whether you’re an engineer, a creative, or simply figuring things out, this blog is for you.
I’m also sharing more of the journey on Instagram and TikTok at theaonejourney.

Thanks for reading and welcome to the journey.
Let’s grow, learn, and build together.
