About Me

Hello and welcome to my website!

Technology is something I have always been fascinated about and being in the field for 3 years has been amazing. Through my work and dedication, I have gained some valuable skills as a software engineer, tech blogger and community manager which I share in my blogs. My main goal is to use technology to improve the standards of living of my community and Africa on a larger scale.

When I am not coding, you can find me reading, watching a fun movie or exercising 🙂

Career Story

Growing up, Nasah always had an extra interest in technology, especially computers and how they basically functioned. Subsequently, she decided to turn this interest into a career as she enrolled in a software engineering program at the University. After graduation, she actively got involved in open source and landed an Outreachy internship with the GNOME Foundation.
