  4. Navigating the World of Tech: My Experience Growing up surrounded

    by technology was challenging at times, but it was also an exciting journey. From building my first website at a young age, my interest in tech continued to flourish. As I tackled more significant projects over time, I explored various opportunities to expand my knowledge in the tech field. The Journey Life is a wild ride, and sometimes, the universe throws opportunities our way. So, I decided to beef up my tech skills, taking classes and diving into boot camps. But, the real kicker was when I joined the Moringa school in Ghana. There, I met a crew of engineers and soaked up priceless knowledge on leading tech teams. Fast forward to 2018, and I scored a sweet gig with a logistics company. Who knows what other adventures lie ahead? Bring on the tech-tastic ride!
  5. I started looking online for boot camps where I could

    learn the fundamentals and discovered some in the US and Europe, but the application process was challenging. I ultimately discovered MORINGA SCHOOL, a Kenyan boot camp with connections allowing students to go to Ghana and Nigeria. Their collaborations in Nigeria were unable to succeed, so I applied to the Moringa School in Kenya because it was not overly expensive and offered the best chance. They had two tracks: the initial one was in Ghana, while the longer one was in Kenya. I was learning how to utilize the command line, GIT, bash, and terminal, as well as how to offer feedback and develop the necessary soft skills. I also gained managerial skills for engineering teams.
