Personal Information
ABOUT ME (PLEASE READ)
I'm a Person With Disability. I wasn't born with it. It's as a result of severe illness at childhood. This span across my minor years through to nineteen. And when I finally, recovered I was left with a physical disability & lack of formal education.
I did a professional Web Developer course (with a Tech College) after I recovered, that earned me a diploma in IT. I have also done some free online Web Developer courses. I have worked on personal Web Applications projects. I have also participated in Google Hash Code competitions.
I'm a certified IT expert in Graphic & Web Design. I'm also a Google Digital Marketing & E-Commerce Specialist by Coursera.org
Why this introduction?
Because employers match candidates to their exceptional academic credentials & achievements and I don't fit that. Nonetheless, I can prove to be a good candidate for what I know when given the chance. And furthermore, serve as an inspiration to others in situations like or similar to mine.
I'm the best & it's only a matter of a chance to prove it.
