@brianmugo
Aspiring software engineer with a focus on web accessibility.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated software engineering intern with hands-on experience in web accessibility and a strong foundation in software development. During my internship at Ushahidi, I actively contributed to web accessibility efforts, learning and implementing essential accessibility standards. My proactive approach to seeking feedback and leveraging mentorship has significantly enhanced my skills and confidence in coding and collaboration.
In addition to my technical skills, I have experience in digital marketing and IT, where I conducted comprehensive audits of WordPress websites and managed social media accounts. My role at Mantra Ideas allowed me to develop strong time management and problem-solving skills, which I believe are crucial in any workplace environment. I am passionate about applying my classroom knowledge to real-world challenges and am eager to take on a full-time position that allows me to grow and contribute meaningfully.
