A Word from the CEO – Joel Tiago
Welcome to the Practical AI Engineering & Development (PAIED) Program!
Dear Future AI Builders,
As the CEO of AISOD, I am incredibly proud to welcome you to this transformative journey. In a world where AI is reshaping everything, Namibia and Africa must not just consume technology—we must create and own it. That's why we built the PAIED Program: to empower beginners like you with practical, hands-on skills to design, code, automate, and launch real AI-powered products in hours—not years.
Our philosophy is simple and powerful: "They may not believe the papers, but you will get paid for the working projects." Here, there are no endless exams or abstract theory. Your success is measured by what you build and launch—websites, mobile apps, agents, custom models—all using ethical AI tools and our preferred stack (Flutter/Dart, React Native, Next.js, Supabase, Python, HTML, CSS and JavaScript, LoRa, TensorFlow, Huggingface, GitHub, Langchain and etc,...).
Over these 9 months, you'll go from zero experience to shipping professional-grade solutions that solve real problems in Namibia—from business automations to innovative apps. And with AISOD X as your ecosystem, your projects can earn income, attract funding, and impact communities.
This is more than a program—it's your entry into Africa's AI revolution. We're here to support you every step: mentors, community, live sessions, and tools to make complex things simple.
Dream Big. Believe in yourself. Build boldly. Launch fearlessly.
The future is yours to code.
