Andela

Meet Chesvic Hillary, Senior Back-End Engineer and Technical Writer, based in Lagos, Nigeria. Chesvic’s career in tech started with a chance encounter at the local business center while photocopying documents for college. At the time, personal computers were not common, and he took notice that the manager was doing a great job attending to his needs and those of her staff, all while typing. When he peeked at her screen, he saw she wasn’t typing words, but code! She agreed to take him on as an intern and for the next year, he found a natural ability in HTML and became proficient in several programs. With his newfound love of tech, he graduated with a degree in computer science. Today Chesvic is a member of the Andela Talent Cloud, and a contributing writer to our blog though our Writers Room program. “I never thought I’d get the chance to get paid for my writing, but I’ve had several articles published with Andela so far, from topics like Soap, Node.js and even how to manage virtual meetings.“ “My wife is my best and fiercest writing critic. We’re happily married, with two young children, a boy, and a girl. She reviews every article I write, and I watch carefully as she reads, knowing within seconds if it’s trash or treasure.“ “Working for Andela’s clients improved the quality of my life by rightfully compensating my efforts and dedication. My horizons have been broadened and my soft skills have improved. I’m proud to call myself a global citizen, with the ability to work and adjust between time zones depending on the client location around the world.” “In the next few years, my goal is to upskill and work my way into a Software Architect role, while developing my writing and getting more articles published. Whatever knowledge I gain, I want to be able to share that with other people. And I know that as I progress, Andela will be there to support me.” #HumansOfAndela #TechTalent

We’re grateful for the opportunity to connect with so many incredibly talented technologists from across the globe, and for our clients who help us match these brilliant minds with fantastic opportunities. When creating Humans of Andela, we had the pleasure to meet and spend time with our technologists and some of their families. Getting to know them better has been such a wonderful experience, and we are excited to continue this series into 2025. #HumansOfAndela #ITProfessionals #Technologists

As a Data Analyst in the telco industry, Rheza Hakim has been trying to find solutions for eradicating bad coverage spots. His work with NVIDIA RAPIDS helped him to discover solutions to automate the process of finding the bad spots while making any necessary exploratory data analysis visualizations interactive. The process, which could take an hour using a traditional CPU-based program, could be reduced to just several minutes thanks to the GPU acceleration NVIDIA RAPIDS provides. https://lnkd.in/ecNwYb8g #NVIDIA #TechSolutions #DataAnalysis
