"To succeed, I believe that it is important to enjoy the work you're doing. When developing I am happier, more engaged and I perform at the top of my game"
- Fey Ijaware.
I am a self taught Software Developer who specialize in Web and Android Development, I am aspiring to be a Full Stack Web and Android Developer, and after sucessfully completing my second Google Scholarship, I am one more step closer to my goal.
I am someone that likes to get involved because I have a genuine commitment to social impact, so being able to help support people new to coding and developing is something I enjoy and I do in my free time, and I enjoy mentoring those that reach out to me for help.
I was invited to the join the Free-code-camp Manchester meet-up as an organiser in January 2018 due to my contribution to the group.
I organised Christmas Jumper day last Christmas with my co-workers and was able to raise over £200 for Save the children.
At the Co-op, I have been involved in a few community projects and fundraising. In 2016, I organize and lead a massive clean-up in Boggart Hole Park, which also made the local paper. I also organized a fundraising 'Charity Shop' event in 1 Angel Square which raise over £700. And in October 2016, I was part of Team Droylsden Co-op Apprenticeship challenge, where we were the winner of the ‘greatest increase in shop takings’.
While in University I volunteered in a local charity shop for animals within my first two years, which I really enjoyed, and I was able to learn a lot about the local community.
I love attending hackathons and I am very active in Manchester's Tech communities by attending various Tech Events. I am also a writer, sharing my stories about how I got into Tech. I love being active and outdoor, so in my spare time and when the weather is good, am an avid biker, hiking, canoeing or rock climbing.
Mostly I love spending time with my Friends and family, expecially my two nephews and I love to travel. Cooking and baking is also something I like to do in my spare time as it's a very creative activity and it helps me relax.
