Not, so long ago i was just like any other african kid who has never known anything about technology.In,Africa the school systems have failed as they focus mainly in producing graduates who are supposed to work or in other terms go searching for jobs,Which to be precise are so limited..Here,not so many kids,who dare to dreams of careers in the tech industry because in school many are told that only DOCTORS any maybe few other careers here and there are worth it..Dont confuse me to be against this careers but i think its not worth it making people beleive that only this careers that can make you a living.

After completing highschool in 2017 and failing in the Kenya certificate of secondary school education examination i decided to follow my dream of becoming a software developer by studying through the use of online tutorials..Here,In Africa again people haven’t embraced the culture of using online tutorials when it comes to studies cause the youths in particular beleive you can only be an expert by attending classes which is well Ok,

I am a ‘ dreamer by birth’ and I have always dreamt of changing through the use of technology.I fell in love with CODE because i believed in writing code, i could achieve my dreams of changing the world in one way.Looking upon people such as Elon musk,mark zuckenburg and Whattsapp founder Jan Koum whom i really admire alot has been my source of inspiration each and every day.

I am still learning about CODE and I am focused than ever in my life..I cant wait to join this movement of making the world a better place
