Coding Full-Stack Python on a Melting Android Phone in Ethiopia

Hi DEV Community,

I am an IT student in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, studying hardware and network services. My biggest passion is building software.

Because I do not own a laptop, I have spent the last year teaching myself programming, building database logic, and routing web applications using Python and Flask entirely on my mobile phone using Pydroid and Termux.

I am pushing my mobile device past its absolute physical limits. Lately, when I try to run local servers, my phone UI crashes, lags, and the device gets too hot to touch. I am literally melting my hardware just to learn.

My dream is to work in enterprise cloud infrastructure and network systems, but I have officially outgrown my phone. I need a laptop to take my skills to the next level, and I am looking for a sponsor, an organization, or a mentor who can help me bridge this gap.

I have my code files ready to show anyone who is interested. Thank you for reading my story!
