Muhammad Auwal Ahmad

(Mohiddeen)

I am Muhammad Auwal Ahmad, widely known in the digital space as Mohiddeen Ahmad. My journey as a writer, scientist, techie, and programmer has been fueled by an insatiable curiosity and a deep passion for innovation. Born on August 8, 1999, in Bayamari town, Yobe State, Nigeria, I have dedicated my life to building solutions that empower individuals and communities.

My life is shaped by a constant curiosity, a strong drive to create new things, and a deep wish to help others grow. Over the years, I have established myself in various fields, from entrepreneurship and scientific discoveries to technological advancements and literary contributions.

My educational journey laid the foundation for my accomplishments. I earned my B.Sc. in Computer Science from Federal University Gashu’a in 2024. My fascination with technology started early, leading me to launch my first website in 2014 —an elementary platform aimed at helping users understand the internet and website creation. This was the first step in what would become an exciting entrepreneurial journey.

From the beginning, I have always been drawn to entrepreneurship. By 2016, I had launched my first startup, Skyvillo, a professional networking site designed to connect business owners. This venture was just the beginning of a series of startups aimed at fostering digital transformation and economic empowerment. Some key milestones in my entrepreneurial journey include:

2016: Founded Skyvillo, a professional networking platform for business owners.

2017: Launched Flowdiary Blog, which later evolved into the current Flowdiary, offering insights on online marketing and blogging.

2018: Co-founded Vecomart, an early e-commerce experiment

2019: Established Yobe Youth Empowerment Programme, an initiative to equip Yobe youth with skills for independence

2021: Founded Stackplaza, a digital marketplace that helps business owners showcase and promote their products online.

2022: Co-founded Flowdiary, an edtech startup providing digital skills training in the Hausa language to bridge the gap in digital literacy across Northern Nigeria.

2022: Co-founded Alphamega Digital Services, a parent company overseeing multiple startups, including Stackplaza, Flowdiary, Sparkle-X, and Tauraro.

Through these ventures, I have not only created economic opportunities but also empowered thousands of youths with digital skills to achieve self-reliance.

The call to empower grew louder. In 2020, I launched #ZoMuGinaKamfani— Let’s Build a Company in Hausa —a motive movement for youth to shape their future through startup development. By 2021, it blossomed into an initiative offering mentorship and support, and I poured my vision into Zo Mu Gina Kamfani, a blueprint for building and scaling startups.

More so, my passion for scientific research and discovery has driven me to explore mathematical formulas and algorithms that have applications in the emerging tech of today, Artificial Intelligence. Some of my most significant contributions include:

Discrete Analysis (P = R1C1 + R2C2 +...RnCn): A mathematical equation applicable in Machine Learning, Cryptography, and Data Analysis.

Trekking Speed Formula (t=sr): A formula designed to calculate human trekking speed by analyzing rate, time, and distance.

Det-zero Formula (det(MA²)=0): A principle used in matrix manipulation.

Additionally, my research papers delve into complex topics in data science, cybersecurity, predictive modeling, and others, solidifying my reputation as a researcher in scientific discourse.

As a passionate writer, I have authored nearly ten books and hundreds of articles in both Hausa and English. 95% of my literary works pour into science, technology, entrepreneurship, self-development and motivation, fields where I can light a fire in the hearts of my fellow youngsters inspiring them to embrace self-reliance and digital transformation. Some of my most impactful books read by thousands of people include:

eBillions Mastery (2019): A comprehensive guide to 12 legitimate online money-making techniques.

Zo Mu Gina Kamfani (2021): A blueprint for building and scaling startups.

Sirrukan Sana'o'i 99 (2022): 99 business ideas and strategies for different capital levels.

and others, starting from The Book of Knowledge (2015) to the recent ones such as Program a Computer to Learn How to Think (2019), Perceptible Ideologies (2020), On the Verge of Death (2020), Rayuwar Sadauki (2020), The Prince Without a Head (2020), Kasuwancin Yanar Gizo (2022), and Basics of Computer (2022).

I have always believed in the power of words to shape minds and inspire action, and my books serve as a testament to that belief.

Moreover, with a strong background in software engineering, data science, and cybersecurity, I have honed my technical skills in various domains including Web Development, Machine Learning, Data Science & Analyis, Cybersecurity, Business Intelligence, and Digital Marketing.

Beyond my personal achievements, I am committed to empowering the next generation of entrepreneurs, technologists, and innovators. Through mentorship, training programs at Flowdiary, and knowledge sharing, I strive to inspire young minds to embrace digital skills and self-reliance. My vision is to create a world where language barriers no longer hinder access to digital education and where youth are equipped with the skills needed to drive technological and economic advancement.

My journey has been one of passion, resilience, and an unyielding commitment to innovation. From launching startups to making scientific discoveries and authoring transformative books, I continue to push boundaries and explore new frontiers. My story is a testament to the power of curiosity, determination, and the relentless pursuit of knowledge.
