Can we meet you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My Name is Sunkanmi Daniel Olawuwo. I studied Electrical and Electronics Engineering with no prior knowledge of programming before coming to Moat Academy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What were you doing before joining Moat Academy?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was a Field Engineer with a Remote Monitoring Solutions Company; I resigned because i wanted to change my career path.<\/p>\n

What exactly do you want to achieve with the software development skills?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am looking to pursue a successful career in software development; then establish tech startups that will proffer solutions to some of the challenges being faced in the world.<\/p>\n

\u00a0How has things Changed For you since gaining Software Development Skills?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It has helped me to understand and be able to work with the technology around me. In a way it has improved my communication, creative thinking, and self-confidence. It gives me a newfound sense of energy to really pursue the goals i want in life.<\/p>\n

What was your biggest fear before coming to Moat Academy...?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My biggest fear was the complexity and difficulty attached to learning programming languages. I did not believe I would be able to understand programming and web development in that short space of time.<\/p>\n

How I feel now?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I feel empowered because i have one of the most in-demand skills in the world. With God, hard work and consistency I am on course for a successful career in software development.<\/p>\n

How will you describe your experience at Moat Academy?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The boot camp is a mirror image of what to expect out there as a software developer with daily assignments and mini-projects every week.<\/p>\n

The approach to teaching is world class; the facilitators are patient and always ready to help.<\/p>\n

What have you been able to achieve with the training?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Towards the end of the boot camp, we worked on our final projects. I was able to develop a web application (Professional Networking Site: which allows members to share posts, comment on posts, follow and unfollow one another) from scratch to completion and I now have a job as a Software Developer.<\/p>\n

What advice do you have for those coming into Moat Academy?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My advice for them is that they should be devoted and dedicated to the training. Moat Academy has its own standards; students need to work hard in other to achieve the expected outcome after 11 weeks.<\/p>\n

What is your future Outlook in Software Development?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have a solid foundation thanks to Moat Academy, I am looking to learn more and grow through the ranks as quick as possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
