Musasizi's Incredible Journey: From Airport Cleaner to Software Developer

Musasizi's Incredible Journey: From Airport Cleaner to Software Developer


Ever dreamt of a career change? Meet Musasizi Joseph, a graduate of Refactory Academy's Software Engineering with JavaScript program. His story is a powerful reminder that with dedication and the right opportunity, dreams can become reality.

Musasizi worked as a cleaner at Entebbe International Airport. He was grateful for his job, but his heart yearned for something more. He possessed a National Diploma in Civil Engineering, a testament to his intellect, but lacked the resources to pursue his true passion: technology.

Fate intervened in the form of Mr. Kouma Stephen, a traveler passing through the airport. A simple conversation sparked a life-altering connection. Mr. Stephen saw Musasizi's potential and planted a seed: software development.

Mr. Stephen didn't just offer words; he offered support. He connected Musasizi with Refactory Academy and incredibly, funded his tuition and a laptop. This act of generosity opened a door to a whole new world. Musasizi enrolled in the JavaScript program, ready to embrace the challenge.

The journey wasn't easy. Balancing work, family and the demanding coursework required immense dedication. Musasizi even had to attend classes from the airport washroom during his shifts! Talk about commitment!

Musasizi found strength in community. He credits his instructors' unwavering support and the camaraderie of his classmates, mentioning Godwin, Promise, and Esther as pillars of encouragement. They studied together, problem-solved together, and lifted each other up.

Against all odds, Musasizi triumphed! He graduated as a software developer, equipped with skills in both front-end and back-end development. His hard work, perseverance and the support he received culminated in this incredible achievement.
