After graduating college with a diploma in Civil engineering, I tried my hand at a lot of different
construction projects and i realy enjoyed it. I interacted with a wide range of people and gained
experiences, but a life changing event occured that forced me to stop working.After a few months of wailing
and contemplating on how is should get back on my feet, a loved one passed ranom words of - "What happened to
your loving tech?did you loose interest or what? ". Reflecting on my past experiences, i have lived been
relied on by family and friends to fix their gadgets, not only that i always try curiosly to build something
before buying it.
This was quite a run of thought but I knew i should start finding a school to join and may be start
small.Start by trying webdevelopment,then advance andmay be the ultimatume will be cyber security.Yes I know
am dreaming big but in summary - I knew I wanted to build things that would benefit others. In pursuit of
something more, I dropped everything and wholly
dedicated myself to learning to program.
I attended TechCamp Bootcamp, where I spent 3 months learning to program applications and build websites. I
worked on
projects with fellow peers and was able to clearly share ideas with each other. I picked up new technologies
within
days and applied them to relevant projects. And...I did this all while enjoying the experience.
I am a software engineer who has a strong desire to build meaningful and fun applications. I am currently
seeking
opportunities to apply and expand upon my current skill sets. I am a quick learner who enjoys
problem-solving,
learning and contributing to a team environment.
