I am interested in how things work internally - be it software or machines. I love opening open source libraries looking inside understanding how they work and occasionally contributing improvements. I picked up this habit from childhood as I was found breaking my toys to see what was inside.
In my free time, you will find me either coding, playing guitar, playing FIFA, or soccer. -->

#### A Curious Mind
<!-- #### A Curious Mind
My fascination with the inner workings of software and machinery is more than a passion – it's a lifelong quest for understanding. From dismantling toys as a child to dissecting open source libraries, every challenge is an opportunity to learn and innovate.

### Career Philosophy

<details>
<summary><b>Expand:</b> </summary>
<p>I owe all my opportunities to education. I was only able to move from Uganda to South Korea because of a scholarship from the Korean Government. I believe that education is the ultimate equalizer and distributor of opportunities. I had no right to study at a Korea university, let alone to work in Korea as an engineer, but education made this possible. Now, thanks to this opportunity I speak a new language - Korean, I have learned a new culture and I’ve explored a new country and continent. I have also realized my childhood dream of becoming an electrical engineer and also pursued my passion in software engineering. This effect of education can be significantly multiplied if integrated with technology. My work as a software engineer at Bebridge Inc. has brought me close enough to witness this firsthand. I have seen what a simple tool like Slid can do for online learners studying from videos, infact I used it myself before I went to work there. I also saw how much more useful it became when we began building AI features on top of it. I am convinced through this experience that through education we can change the lives of multitudes of people from around the world, and with technology and AI we can empower them to learn faster and more efficiently at a rate not seen before. We can level the world with EdTech! This belief in the power of education and knowledge sharing is part of the reason I founded Jenga CodeLabs.</p>
