The four Edpresso creators introduced below have all been greatly impactful members of the Edpresso community.
Damilola Oluwafemi is a passionate front-end developer with experience in modern Frontend web technologies. He builds all aspects of user experience and user interface for client-facing pages according to specification. Oluwafemi first became interested in coding as a kid; "I honestly thought it was really cool to make computers do really awesome stuff as a kid, I was fascinated by games and graphics. I wanted to be a part of it." He has been a software engineer for 3 years. During that time he has become an active member of the online dev community where he has enjoyed, "helping people solve problems while also helping myself and meeting cool people." He encourages fellow devs to start their own project today. Check out his shots on Edpresso(1,2,3,4,5)!
Stephen Cooper is a senior engineer at G-research who writes and speaks about Angular and web tech. His first introduction to coding was "Playing with Lego Mindstorms as part of a school project," which he quickly realized was a lot of fun. In his graduate role, he worked on a few different projects (low latency C++, a large scale C# app, and a new web app) and found that, out of the three, he loved creating the web app the most as he could visually see what he had cooked up. Stephen is coming up to 8 years at G-research, which is still his first job! He considers himself to be very fortunate to have found a role that he loves doing in a great company. When asked what his favorite part is about being active in the online dev community he said that he has "learned so much from others that has really benefited me professionally. It feels great to start contributing back where I can, and the act of blogging is helping me learn even more!" Even though it was pretty scary for him to make his first blog post, he is glad that he did. He encourages fellow devs to "never be afraid to try something new" as "you will probably be surprised at where it takes you!" Check out his shots on Edpresso(1,2,3,4,5) and his posts on dev.to.
Nenne Adaora Nwodo is a software engineer based in Lagos, Nigeria who is very passionate about education, technology, and music. She first became interested in computers when she was 6 and discovered coding short after that. She says that, "it was really interesting to me, mostly because it helped me create things as a kid and I loved it." Nwodo has been a software engineer professionally for almost 4 years. She got her first job in 2016 while she was still studying computer science in college, but she had been taking freelance jobs and coding for fun long before that. Her favorite part about being an active member of the online dev community is that she gets to share what she has learned while inspiring people who want to push themselves. Check out her shots on Edpresso(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) and her personal blog!
Stephen Roberts is a junior software engineer based in the UK. He worked for over 10 years in the financial sector before he began working in software development. In the financial sector, everything is set up on Excel spreadsheets and there's a lot of work that needs to be repeated; so, Roberts got involved in making Visual Basic code to automate processes. "I really enjoyed this as it made my work more efficient and it helped others too. I also enjoyed the debugging process and trying to find out why my errors crept in!" Roberts has been a software engineer for 18 months and is a part of a graduate program where he's learning different aspects of software engineering (frontend, backend, testing, and ops). During this time, he has become an active member of the online dev community where he enjoys helping people understand certain aspects; "It feels great to help other people with their learning," he says, "but it also helps my learning too. Writing blog posts instills knowledge and helps me to gain a better understanding of what I'm writing." Roberts is also a co-organizer for a local meetup group (Leeds Kotlin User Group) and is studying towards the AWS exams. He is looking forward to creating more shots on in-depth topics soon.
