Ada Rachel Oyeoka

Junior Software Developer

I build user-friendly, accessible web applications with a focus on simplicity and functionality. My goal is to always provide a smooth experience for users, and leave a positive impact.




ABOUT

Most people call me "Rachel", and some prefer "Ada". I was born in Michigan, USA and I am currently based in Lagos, Nigeria.

In April 2021, I enrolled in a beginner programming course at a local technical college. This was how I discovered the world of code for the first time, and fell in love with it forever.

Since then, I have left a job as a hair stylist, gotten certified in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and ReactJS, and built multiple websites and web applications for my personal use, for family, friends, and even for paying clients as a freelancer on Upwork dot com.

Right now, I am sharpening my skills, collaborating with other passionate developers, working on exciting projects, and searching for job opportunities.

When I'm not at the keyboard, you can find me reading, listening to a podcast, cooking, or all three :)
