My real names are Jamila Abass Amin, born and raised in Wajir,Kenya. A city(keep your comments to yourself , because for me it's a city!) lost in the sea! Believe me, whether it is a myth or a fact, my people say that Wajir was once a sea!
I schooled in Wajir Township Primary school then joined Limuru Girls High School.Trust me,I don't know how I made to a high school with such an illustrious reputation but my teachers always said am a bright kid and I believe them!
I graduated from The Faculty of Sciences and Technology, AbdelMalek Essaadi’s University in Morocco with a Bachelor’s degree in Software Engineering. I have lived and worked in the Kingdom of Morocco for 5 years. During my stay there ,I served as the Secretary General for The Anglophone Students Association in Morocco and founded a club called CALL(Club D'amateur des Logiciel Libre) a club that promotes the use of free and open source software.
I am a passionate and adept web and mobile applications developer . I worked with KEMRI(Kenya Medical Research Institute)/University of Washington as a Medical Records Systems developer.Am currently at the iHub as an intern and do freelance job as well.
Am an active and a core team member of the akirachix group: an IT forum for girls. Owner and co-founder of Creative Minds Solutions : an IT solutions company formed by Rose Karanja and myself.
When am not on my computer,coding, I train and provide mentorship for people who are new to the computer world. Do I charge? Of course not! Then how do I gain? Putting a smile on someone's face is enough for me!
"I love empowering people,especially women with my knowledge so as to unleash their potential and drive their growth in the IT industry."
