This chapter features an interview with an architectural technologist who has achieved impressive accomplishments at a young age. They discuss their experiences in programming, the value of hands-on tinkering, different programming languages, advice for starting coding at any age, and being part of technological movements. The chapter also explores the future of technology, the importance of flexibility and diverse life experiences, and their work setup involving digital work and a home office/studio.
Iddris Sandu is only 22, but his life story is already legendary. This Architectural Technologist learned to program at the age of 11 and has worked with everyone from Kanye West to Nipsey Hussle to Space X. We talk coding, web design, holograms, and how programming works and what languages should you learn and why it's important. The designer and entrepreneur also shares his creative process, favorite programming languages, philosophies on future technology and why empathy matters in life and in design. He’s a true inspiration and Alie shamelessly begged him for life advice. Bonus: this one is pretty kid-friendly so spread it around to anyone who needs a new hero.
