Some days, you show up as a mentor.
Some days, you question everything.
Some days, you lead.
Some days, you sit silently and reflect on the people who helped you rise.
The last few days, I’ve been thinking a lot about who I am—
Not in a resume format, but as a whole person.
I come from a village where I struggled to understand English.
Today, I mentor young engineers and help lead global-scale software delivery.
The journey? It’s been anything but straight.
My earliest confidence didn’t come from tech.
It came from math.
Solving problems gave me clarity before I had language for it.
That same mindset helped me later learn code, systems, and leadership.
I didn’t start with confidence. I earned it.
I didn’t know how to code. I learned by doing, breaking, and rebuilding.
I didn’t plan to lead a team. But I showed up every day, listened, failed, learned—and kept going.
Somewhere between code reviews and mentoring calls, I realized:
Leadership isn’t about having all the answers.
It’s about being available, being real, and being willing to evolve.
If you’re on a path that still feels unclear, trust me—
You’re not behind.
You’re just becoming.
Let’s keep growing. Together.
