Chepkurui's Story I first became interested in coding in my fourth year of university. I studied Actuarial Science and after doing the unit-Actuarial modelling which mainly involved R software, I realized programming could solve every problem no matter how difficult it is. Naturally, I am a critical and logical thinker and finding a way that could allow me to think more comprehensively made or rather will make life more interesting. I also felt that getting into a career that is mainly considered a man's career will be quite fascinating for me because I always love a good challenge, one that will bear fruits for me and the society.
My motivation for learning how to code with SheCodes is the desire to solve problems. The thought of having the opportunity of building something from thin air into an executable form is very empowering. I want to be build a career that I love and enjoy building. Most importantly, I want to be an inspiration to other ladies who want to get into tech but don't know how to start or fear that they might not make it. I stand on the quote " Just do it!".
My hobbies include cooking, board games, travelling, journal, reading and drawing.
