A MARRIED MOTHER’S JOURNEY TO BECOMING A SOFTWARE DEVELOPER

Fatima, from Guinea Conakry, is a married mother of a lovely two-year-old daughter. She recently completed our one-year training program with the goal of breaking down barriers to women entering the tech industry.

Why did you join Codetrain?

Codetrain was recommended to me by my husband, who received confirmation from a friend. I went on the internet and followed them on all their social media platforms to learn more about what they do. I was ecstatic by what I read, particularly the success stories and women like me who were pursuing careers in software development.

How has the experience been so far?

It has been a good experience, and I have no regrets about joining the Codetrain family. Despite the fact that I am a mother with other responsibilities, I always make it a point to code and submit any assignments that are provided to me. This aided me in developing unique apps that address issues in my neighbourhood. Codetrain’s mission has, without a doubt, made a significant impact on me and my country.

What’s your dream?

I want to be a front-end teacher and extend the knowledge I have gained through Codetrain’s program to help people in my country especially women build mind-blowing apps.

How do you see your dream coming true through tech?

Although I had little knowledge in coding, I never imagined I will come this far. Codetrain made me see the light, and I can confidently attest to the fact that there will come a time technology will be a necessity.

What’s your favourite thing about Codetrain?

I enjoy how the curriculum is designed, and, most importantly, how the teaching fellows make it engaging and simple to the point where anyone can call them at any time, on any day for assistance. In fact, I’m missing them terribly.
