HNGi8 x14G internship

Hi, I'm awwal and I am a fledgling full stack developer. I started coding a few years ago as I was struggling with finishing my final year project in unilag. I came across a program called code Lagos and decided to enroll since it was free and I had a laptop. Since then I have been fascinated about what you could do with a computer. To me coding is a really fun way to bring life to ideas and the loads of bugs that come with it is all part of the fun.
After the end of the program I delved into the vast resources of YouTube and aimed at making myself a self taught developer 😓...., man was that a lot headache. Nonetheless I'm proud to say that I'm a full stack developer having learnt technologies like React, Express and Nodejs.
However, what I'll admit I lack is indeed experience building apps and providing solutions in a work environment, which is why I hope my time at this year's installment of the HNG internship helps on that regard
