MY JOURNEY AS A FULL STACK SOFTWARE ENGINEER


 







Isn't amazing that I'm writing about a tech topic?

Well, the question is where did it start and how?

Social Media Influence.

I know when we talk about social media, the first thing that comes into our mind is, the negative side, right? Definitely.

This is different

At one time, I was scrolling through Twitter and I come across a tweet about software engineering, I said to myself, lemme see the article. I read the article and was amazed and excited about it. In the article, there was a website (alx Africa) and I tap in.

I decided to see that there was a course on offer and that's software engineering. It was 12 months, 70 hours a week. Remember I was working so definitely I couldn't make it because the 70 hours a week was too much for me but then isn't the course free? Yes, then why can't I try?

I applied. It was sponsored and after a week I got an email that I was accepted to enrol for the course. This was a huge opportunity for me.

I  applied and I was accepted and it was free so what's next? It is my schedule.

I decided to look for a laptop because at that time I didn't have the laptop. I also decided to set aside money for data.

Next, I managed to have a timetable to balance the software engineering course and my job. Everything was set.

In my next blog, I would be talking about the way I started and how exciting was the project. Was it hard? Is it manageable? Tune in to my next blog.
