Outreachy: Introducing Me
I shuttle between two vibrant Nigerian cities: Aba, a bustling commercial hub, and Ibadan, known for its distinctive brown roofs and hospitable residents. Growing up in these diverse environments has shaped my perspective and fostered my love for community. I'm a self-taught graphic designer, writer, teacher, and data analysis enthusiast. My diverse experiences, from teaching to exploring data analysis with Python, have equipped me with a versatile skill set that I'm eager to contribute to Parsl.
My Journey to Outreachy and Parsl
I've always been drawn to open-source software, and Inkscape, in particular, has been a game-changer for me. The collaborative nature and accessibility of open-source tools inspired me to seek opportunities within this realm. When I learned about Outreachy, I was immediately intrigued. I followed the journey of an alumnus, and their experience resonated with my aspirations. I wanted to be a part of this community that fosters growth, collaboration, and inclusivity.
Core Values: Empathy, Curiosity, and Authenticity
I strongly value the ability to understand and share the feelings of others. Empathy allows us to build meaningful connections and provide support to those around us. It is the foundation of my desire to help and uplift others with similar experiences. Curiosity fuels my passion for learning and exploring new (and sometimes unrelated) ideas. I thrive on the excitement of discovery, whether it's delving into a new language or immersing myself in a fantasy novel. Lastly, authenticity is non-negotiable for me. I strive to stay true to myself and my values, fostering genuine connections and a sense of integrity in all my endeavors.
Aspirations
Through this internship with Parsl, I aim to immerse myself in the open-source world, enhance my Python skills, and forge professional connections. I'm eager to contribute to Parsl's mission and make a meaningful impact. One of the things I look forward to the most is taking the first steps towards a career that aligns with my values while maintaining financial stability. It's a dream come true to be part of a community that shares my passion for open-source software and its potential to create positive change.
