About me

Hi there, I'm Prince. I'm a passionate lover of computers and all the beautiful things that can be done with them.
My first experience with computers was in my childhood when my mom took me to an intro level computer science training. We played V-COP2 and other games most of the time but it was so addictive!

After high-school and decided to study computer-science. I enrolled as a Computer technician because some of my friends used to repair computers. I later realized I took the wrong path because I really enjoyed the programming lessons we had in common with the software engineering students and spent most of my holidays learning HTML / CSS and other programming stuff.

I sadly lost my dad before third year of college and I had to stop and get a job because mum couldn't afford to pay for my studies. I finally got an internship after 3 months of hustle. I didn't know anything about ASP.NET and SQL Server but I learned fast to not lose my Job. 3 months later, I was recruited to a full-time position.This gave me a chance to learn a lot from experienced developers.
I was surprised to be promoted to be the lead programmer after 3 years in the company. I finally quit though because we were doing the same things over and over again and it became boring, I felt I was stagnating (Actually, I wanted to build beautiful and sleek user interfaces and user experiences).

After leaving that company, I got to work as a salesman for multi-national company trying to break ground in my country. I'm currently working there part-time.
My thirst for beautiful design made me start a bootcamp in that field with Scrimba 's Frontend Career Path that I recently graduated from. I'm far from being a great frontend developer and that's exactly what I want to be. That said, I do feel that I have the knowledge required to perform as a Junior frontend developer and grow from there.
I'm currently looking for a full-time role in a startup that I can grow along with.
