Introducing Judy: Our Newest Trainee and Rising Star in Tech
Welcome Judy Sigilai, our latest software engineer trainee from Nairobi, showcasing our commitment to diversity in tech. With a strong background in React and a drive for continuous learning, Judy is set to make significant contributions to our team.

Ole Nils Ailo Siri
February 3, 2024We are excited to welcome Judy Chelangat Sigilai, a bright and young 20-year-old software engineer, as our newest IT trainee. Judy, who is from Nairobi, Kenya, has joined our team for a three-month IT internship, which is a significant step in her growing computer career. Her entrance is particularly important because she is the fifth woman to join our ranks, demonstrating our dedication to diversity and gender equality in the technology business.
A strong educational foundation
Judy's journey into technology began with her academic studies. She earned a bachelor's degree in software engineering from the renowned Moringa School, demonstrating her passion and expertise in the sector. Her choice of study reflects not only her interest in technology, but also her desire to be at the forefront of innovation. One of the first things our CEO noticed was that she had her own website built in React, as well as her readiness to upgrade the site in response to his feedback. This is one of the best characteristics of a good developer: the belief that everything can be improved.
Expertise in technology and learning route
Judy brings with her a strong skill set in programming, particularly in React and JavaScript. These skills are essential in today's tech landscape and demonstrate her ability to keep pace with emerging technologies. However, this path is not always what we recommend to young developers because it is the longest journey from trainee to employee. But more than her technical abilities, Judy is passionate about continuous learning and growth. She understands the importance of mentorship and guidance in shaping her early career and is eager to learn from experienced professionals in our team.
Career aspirations: From learning to leading
Judy's aims are both clear and ambitious. In the short term, she hopes to successfully complete her training, improve her technical abilities, and make significant contributions to our initiatives. Judy plans to be a lifelong learner in the technology area, mentoring other students and sharing her skills. She is particularly interested in front-end development and wants to explore full-stack development prospects, but we all know that the CEO will keep her focused on one technology until she is among the best at it.
A woman's perspective in tech
Judy's experience as a woman in technology has been remarkably smooth. She is a passionate supporter of an inclusive and diverse IT environment where everyone, regardless of gender, has equal opportunities to succeed. Her perspective is refreshing and perfectly aligned with our company's ideals of diversity and inclusiveness, which we believe are critical for promoting creativity and tackling challenging problems. Coming from a continent where these ideals are occasionally questioned, we all embrace her concept of fair opportunity.
The future is bright and diverse
Judy is not just satisfied with her current skill set. Her future study aspirations include DevOps and AWS certifications. But one of the first things she'll learn from our organization is that you never give up until you're world-class at what you do, because no one wants someone who is average at everything, but rather someone who is an expert in whatever work is required of them. But, with patience and encouragement, she will eventually realize how difficult it is to become one of the best engineers in React and later React Native.
So, end of the story?
Judy Chelangat Sigilai's entry into our organization is more than just a new addition to our team; it is a step forward in our ongoing efforts to promote diversity, inclusion, and empowerment in the technology industry. We are not scared to stand out from the crowd of technological companies, and we believe we can guide developers to become the greatest in their fields.
We are delighted to see her develop and succeed in her role, and we are convinced that she will be a significant asset to our team as well as a role model for aspiring female technologists.
Welcome aboard, Judy! We can't wait to see what you'll achieve.

Ole Nils Ailo Siri It is a little bit difficult for us to handle applicants from different countries, since our training programme also means having workshops in Africa. But thank you for your interest.
