My name is Val Okafor, I am a Senior Software Engineer with specialization in Android Development. Learning and problem solving is my passion and I share my Android development knowledge through my blog ValOkafor.com.

I have worked for corporations such as The Home Depot, American Council on Exercise, Legend3D and HD Supply, Inc.
