I have always loved technology, even as a child.My father inspired me to contribute to solutions I’m the world and through technology I could see lives changing for the better. It was this love and fascination that drove me to seek a career in problem-solving. I decided to pursue computer science at the Co-operative University of Kenya in pursuit of this goal.

Discovering ALX was a major game changer as I resonate deeply with the practical approach they take. I am already over the moon for getting this opportunity as I see it as one of the key steps in becoming the software developer I envision. The only thing standing between me and my access to the Wonderful programs alx provides is my financial situation.

This scholarship is the crucial factor in determining whether I can use those valuable resources to bring a better change to my life, that of my family and of the world .

In the short term I aim to become proficient in back end web development and later on become a full stack developer.In the long run I aim to develop applications and software solutions that effectively address real world challenges especially in the medical field .This internship will give me the valuable experience on what it means to apply my skills in a practical setting that hopefully creates an impact.I look forward to the possibility of contributing ,learning and growing with alx and it’s partners.
