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...

Experiences applying to Outreachy

Guess what! You are not the only anxious one! Applying to  Outreachy  was challenging for me too. I enjoy learning. I was motivated to apply because I saw an opportunity to grow while working on products that are in use by hundreds of thousands of people. I was hell-bent on participating. "We help newcomers to Free and Open Source Software" - this sentence caught my attention on the application page . The thought of making contributions to projects in the Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) communities got me excited. Ask! Times when you are not so sure, are great for questions. So are times when you do not even have clues of what you are to do. Ask questions when in doubt. That way, you don't spend too much time in the "Confused" state.  Google  (or any other search engine)  is your friend. Make out time to interact with it. Also, make it a habit to reach out to your mentors with updates, questions, and blockers. Outreachy accepts people who are new t...

Think about your audience

My audience is what I like to call the Arc Reactor to my Iron Man suit. The mission if the Wikimedia Foundation is to bring free educational content to the world. Wikimedia is a global community id contributors and anyone who shares Wikimedia's vision to collect and share knowledge that fully represents human diversity is very much welcome to participate in the community. Imagine a world where every single human being can freely share in the sum of knowledge .   The purpose of integration testing is to expose show you how well modules/units in your software interacts. Hence, the community is rest assured that changing or refactoring Wikimedia won't break the API. In the past month, I have learnt quite a number of things just as I have made my own share of mistakes. Remember,  Everybody Struggles . The most interesting thing I learnt is that Wikimedia powers Wikipedia. I have used Wikipedia as my go-to for answers for years now and I never even knew😃. I also did learn...
