Creator & QA Engineer
I create content on tech, productivity, finance and life. QA engineer by trade. Creator by design.
Creator first. QA engineer by trade.
I’m Gideon, and GPL is where I document everything I’m building and learning. By day, I’m a QA engineer. By night and on weekends, I’m creating series, explainers and films under GPL.

Youtube Videos
Finance, productivity, tech, lifestyle. Whatever I'm working on, I document it. Started in 2025 to get back to telling my own stories after years of writing for others.

Views
Building an audience of thinkers, not scrollers. People who value honest breakdowns, question their assumptions, and prefer long-term strategies over quick wins. Growing deliberately, not desperately.

The Deadline
The goal: monetized before February 1, 2027.
On February 1, 2027, YouTube raises the bar. I plan to hit every current requirement before it does: 2,000 subscribers and 4,000 public watch hours. Watch the clock. Watch me build. Then help me beat it.

FAQs
Answers to common questions about GPL, The Sweatshop and my work
What is GPL?
GPL (Gideon Pepple Legendary) is my personal content platform where I document everything I'm building and learning. I make series, explainers and films about finance, productivity, tech, and lifestyle. Basically whatever I'm experiencing while running The Sweatshop and working as a QA engineer. It's my creative outlet. No niche restrictions, just honest content.
Do you actually sleep? (24 Hours No Sleep has me worried.)
Yes. 24 Hours No Sleep is one series, not a lifestyle. The rest of the time I sleep like a normal person. Mostly.
What does Gideon do when he's not filming or testing?
Planning the next video. Then pretending I'm not planning the next video. Somewhere in between, I eat, rest and touch grass.
What is The Sweatshop?
The Sweatshop Inc. is the company I founded. We run QA services for clients across Nigeria, the UK, the US and Canada. We also teach and train specialists in QA in those countries.
Is The Sweatshop an actual sweatshop?
No. Nobody is suffering. The name is a joke about the work ethic. We run QA services for clients and train QA specialists. The only thing we torture is software.
How do I get you to feature me on GPL?
Be doing something interesting, then tell me about it. Drop a comment on the channel or reach out through the contact link. If your story fits a series, we'll talk.
Do you do consulting or freelance work?
Yes, through The Sweatshop. We run QA services for clients and train QA specialists. I rarely take content strategy clients, but I openly share my processes on GPL. I'm always open to meaningful partnerships and collaborations.
