Personal Statement
A professional full stack web developer looking forward to kickstart my career in
the Information Technology Sector. I have undergone an intensive curriculum
during my six months training in Moringa School where I have a gained a solid
foundation in software development concepts and best practises. The training I
received sets me apart from the crowd by orienting me to think about software
development as a collaborative and fun process. This bundled together with the
work ethics professional workshop puts me on even footing with world class
developers.
