From Struggles to Success: How Fikrcamp Helped Muna Land a Career in Software Development?
Finding a fulfilling career can be a challenging journey, and it took me some time to discover my passion for the tech world. I knew that I wanted to develop my skills and learn the tools necessary to secure lucrative employment opportunities in software development.
Initially, I received a scholarship from Sakarya University in Turkey, but unfortunately, I was deemed ineligible for a visa application due to the short admission time. I entered another university, but I quickly hit a roadblock. I struggled through various courses that left me feeling confused, demotivated, and helpless. The concepts and theories were taught without clear connections to practical applications.
After significant trial and error, I discovered Fikrcamp through Instagram. Joining this community was a turning point in my journey to become a professional developer. The project-based coaching and hands-on learning approach provided by Fikrcamp was perfect for me to succeed in a programming career. The instructors, specifically Mr. Rooble Ridwan, were knowledgeable and helped me connect the dots between concepts and practical applications. His crystal-clear understanding of the topics and his walkthroughs and guidance boosted my confidence in writing more complicated application features.
Through Fikrcamp, I learned how to position myself for a rewarding career, and I had the opportunity to work with mentors like Ahmed who provided further guidance. In my last year, I was offered an internship at MESAF and worked on my capstone project with the help of Mr. Rooble. We developed breakthrough projects and soon will be launching our own tech startup.
Muna Ahmed now works with Taiwan Mission in Somaliland as a software engineer and maintains their in place infrastructure and has made significant portfolio that speaks volumes of her skills, abilities and many other things.
I work as a programmer, specializing in backend development. However, my skills have expanded, and I now also work as a full stack developer. In addition to my software development responsibilities, I also oversee the organization's computer network, installing and maintaining hardware and software to ensure smooth operations. My diverse skill set allows me to contribute to various aspects of the organization's technology needs, making me a valuable asset to the team.
Fikrcamp transformed me from an amateur to a professional developer and provided me with the skills and confidence to pursue a fulfilling career in tech. I feel fortunate to be part of such a supportive and innovative community.
