Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less. Marie Curi
How does my day look like on most days?
My day always starts with a cup of black coffee and me brainstorming with the team and catching up on everyone's task and deadlines. Then it's back to my desk, headphones on and my Caiiro, DjKent and DaCapo playlist and its problem-solving time.

| Coffee! |
Sometimes I get to go out into the field and see how our solutions to our clients are working out for them which is really cool.

What do l enjoy most about being a software developer
It's an incredibly creative environment. It's a fun process to develop business ideas into software. It involves a lot of problem-solving which can be quite challenging but fun at the same time. And the best part I get to wear sneakers every day 😀
What is the biggest challenge l have faced as a female developer?
When I was still very junior it was very challenging because my colleagues were not too trusting that I could handle the pressure that comes with the job. I had to work really hard and had to work on my confidence. I am grateful they gave me a platform to learn and grow my skills. Otherwise, after that, it's really a cool job and I now work with an amazing team.
Meet the team👐!
How has the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic affected my job?
Not so much other than having to work from home which I found very unpleasant. The only advantage of working from home is that it saves me commute time and a major disadvantage is that it can be mentally challenging. I still enjoy the office environment
