My Tech Journey (11 months ago) Am Emmanuel, passionate Front End (React) Developer from Nigeria, I first became interested in technology when I was a child. I was fascinated by Technology as a whole and how they could be used to create new and innovative things. I loved learning about different programming languages majorly (Dart), but currently a frontend developer (react) and trying to build my own simple programs.
Currently pursing my degree from University of the People (BS of Computer Science), but I am self-taught. I have learned everything I know from reading books, watching tutorials, and working on projects. I have also benefited from the mentorship of many talented engineers.
One of the biggest challenges I have faced in my tech journey is the ever-changing nature of the field. New technologies are emerging all the time, and it can be difficult to keep up. However, I have learned to embrace change and to see it as an opportunity to learn and grow.
Another challenge I have faced is the lack of diversity in the tech industry. I am committed to promoting diversity and inclusion in tech, and I am working to make my work more accessible to people from all backgrounds.

My advice to aspiring technologists is to be passionate about what you do and to never stop learning, the journey is far our consistent can only help you get to your destination faster. The tech industry is constantly evolving, so it is important to be adaptable and willing to learn new things. I also encourage you to find a community of supportive mentors and peers.

The Future
I see myself in the tech world in the years to come as a powerful tool that can be used to solve some of the world's most pressing problems. I believe that AI has the potential to make a positive impact on society in many ways, from improving healthcare to addressing climate change. I am committed to using my abilities to make the world a better place.
