Education
Software Engineer with a Backend specialization, ALX • Africa • 2023-2024
The prestigious ALX Software Engineering Program, in partnership with Mastercard, is an intense 12-month program designed to equip participants with essential skills and knowledge for the tech industry through hands-on learning and real-world applications. During the 9-month Foundations phase, I mastered low-level programming with C, learned high-level programming with Python and Flask, and managed databases with MySQL. In the 3-month Specialization phase, I focused on backend development, learning modern technologies like MongoDB, Redis, and Express.js. This hands-on, project-based approach emphasized problem-solving and critical thinking. With the support of a vibrant community of peers and mentors, I am now well-prepared to enter the tech industry.
