Mambo vipi!👋🏾

My short story

Hello, I'm Faraji. I grew up in Dodoma, Tanzania in a village called Mvumi mission. Growing up a quiet kid, I was interested in drawing, electronics, and science. I would draw cars, aeroplanes, biological drawings and playing with electric motors and constructed simple circuits for aeroplane made cardboards and stuff like that.

I was introduced to computer later in primary education when my father bought a laptop. He sometimes would teach me and my brother how to use it and when he took computer lessons he funnels the knowledge into us.

During my studies, this was just a side thing I love and I never thought of it as something that could be a career, until 2020 when I went into college for IT.

Education

I got my primary and secondary education at Mvumi mission primary and DCT Mvumi secondary, Dodoma, and then took Physics, Chemistry and Biology in advanced education at Thaqaafa sec, Mwanza.

Now, I am a holder of bachelor degree in Information technology from Arusha technical college. It was there that I found my passion for coding from relevant courseworks and projects, building the foundation for what I do now.

My education journey reflects a significant shift from the health sector to Information and communication technology. Initially drawn to health sector from my love of Biology as a subject, I dedicated several years to the field, seeking success and fulfillment. I studied at Muheza, Tanga & Machame, Kilimanjaro. However, the twists and turns of life led me to reassess my path.

In the persuit of personal and professional growth, I made a pivotal decision to transition into ICT, a field that resonated with my evolving interests and aspirations. This shift was not just a change of career but profound transformation.

Through dedicated learning and hands-on experiences, I embraced the challenges of this new field, leveraging my past in health to inform and enrich my approach in the world of technology.

Passions and Hobbies

Beyond the hustle of daily life, I find joy in various hobbies and passions. One of my greatest sources of fulfillment is in learning design skills, motion graphics, music and 3d modelling.

With my love for computers, I started in drawing and animating in Microsoft paint and powerpoint, and later learning video editing and graphics from open source softwares such as GIMP, Inkscape, Shotcut and KdenLive. I am now learing 3d modelling and animation with Blender. I post my work on instagram.

I love following science and technology topics, watching tech and music production videos from youtube, Animal documentaries and football. I am a biggest fan of Liverpool fc in English premier leagure, Barcelona in Spain and Simba sports club in Tanzania.

Goals

My goal is to one day, understand the fundamentals of development of a proper project which includes web application or mobile app. From research, UI and UX design, development, deployment and maintanance. Whether that is a personal project or in a collaborative environment.

Currently, I am interested in E-commerce projects because I think completing an E-commerce project will help me learn a lot of concepts and I will be sharing my progress here.
