Career Opportunities

I love to explore.

I am looking for graduate internship, as well as full-time job opportunities that allows me the opportunity to build a career in technology. I have spent the last few weeks contributing to Mediawiki API Integration Tests. As a result, testing piqued my interest. Hence, I am open to writing more integration tests 😇. My JavaScript skills have improved during the course of my Outreachy internship with the Wikimedia Foundation. I also have experience building user interfaces with React Js, collaboration tools like Phabricator, Gerrit and Jira. After the training from my mentors over the last few weeks, I can also boast of my integration testing skills using Mocha and Chai. I would love to learn the hard skills required of a Security Engineer. Skills like Windows, UNIX and Linux Operating Systems, Virtualization technologies, IDS/IPS, penetration and vulnerability testing and the likes. Cybersecurity is a career path I would love to explore.
My communication skills improved over the last couple of months. The Facebook's Software Engineering Mentor Program helped build my communication skills. Working on the Wikimedia project has given me the opportunity to practice and improve on what I learnt from the Mentoring Sessions on the Program. I have also been learning to write clean code...you know, the type that someone else can easily pick up with no stress involved😎. I speak English Language fluently and would love to learn the Spanish Language. I am available to start work from Wednesday the 1st of April. I am able to move to other countries, if need be. I would have to review mobility options for opportunities that arise.
I am also open to remote job opportunities. My internship experience in the last few weeks has been a good learning path for Open Source contributions and collaborative team work on remote jobs. I am interested in full-time paid positions for either remote or non-remote jobs. The key thing for me is the opportunity to learn new things and grow.

Entangled Strings - Some JavaScript wisdom for when you get entangled

I get these Strings entangled sometimes. You gotta know your stuff well enough to speak to computers these days. They don't argue with you. They just do as you type, maybe say in some cases. Let us debug 👩🏽‍🔧 str.charAt(index) !== str[index] in some cases and here's why: str.charAt(index) returns "" if no character is found at the given index BUT str[index] returns undefined instead. Do you even know what to do when you find me? This never logs because I am at position 0 and that's falsy . All you had to do was check for negative vibes. Now, you know I only do positive vibes yea?😏 Let's try this again. We found her! This logs because I check for negativity   instead. Using  str.indexOf(searchValue)   means to expect -1 when the search value is not found or a value >= 0 when it is found. Now, I know you heard stuff about  str.substring(2) === "POSSIBLE" being true. Yes, POSSIBLE is in fact a substring of IMPOSSIBLE. He

Wrapping Up Internship

Wrapping up internship ... Unwrapping Contribution The one fear I had about the internship was not making it past the first month. Not only did this not come true but I made it till the end of the internship. The amazing thing that happened during the internship was the sudden boost in my self-esteem. Outreachy internship helped me improve on my communication skills through my mentors; who are my accountability buddies and managers . It was easy to communicate progress, blockers, and feedback. The internship helped grow my debugging and problem-solving skills through blockers.😅 I always tried debugging issues while awaiting help from my mentors. I would go ahead with other tasks and take short breaks to debug...see if I'd catch something new.☺My coding skills did improve as well, through study (code learning and online learning) and practice. My mentors also had me explain my code sometimes to be sure that I understood what I was writing. My Outreachy mentors helped me g

Modifying Expectations

It is very fine to modify your expectations... Initially, the estimated and actual completion date for my internship project was not specified. Resource estimates had 100 to 200 hours for writing the tests. So far, I have been able to meet some goals. Some of them include me being able to: learn the existing codebase test some success and failure scenarios for the edit , protect , rollback actions learn the basics of integration testing learn how to write tests using mocha learn the basics of the chai assertion library learn some vanilla javascripts fundamentals In the first half of my internship, I have been able to accomplish the goals listed above plus some extra learnings like:  Promises, async/await concepts technical writing team work open source contribution Setup took longer than expected but the progress since setup improved greatly. It took way longer than expected because I had no understanding of  docker  and some other technologies needed for setup
