Congrats Maame ❤❤❤ !
I'm glad you decided to come out out of the introvert den and also left the event with an huge achievement, namely an internship, just because of a pizza slice with random dude !
It's amazing, I also used to leave my introvert comfort zone last year, I've been to 8 events or so, after I ruined my start-up project. However it pissed me off they were mostly about finances and not actual tech.
Like I don't really care about social/human aspects, I care about the software to be efficient.
If you're interested to keep in touch, I would be over the moon ! Let's connect on Telegram or Signal.
Once again, congrats and wish you a lot of success, sweetie !

Thank you Luftie! And that’s particularly true, the financial aspect always comes later. But the effect / change it has on human lives is honestly what separates good tech from the rest. We can connect via telegram
Alright, there we go: t.me/LuftieTheAnonymous
Cheers, adding you
huge congrats on the internship! Well deserved for having the courage to show up.
Thank you Harsh, and yeah showing up always counts! You’ll find what you’re looking for eventually
Congrats. This was an interesting read as well
Thank you Richard! :)
What a great experience! Online learing can't replace real-life experience. Congratulations for your well deserved achievements!
Thank you Ingo! And you’re right, me learning from the DevOps gurus would really help me when I’m done with uni especially with work experience
This is a masterclass in why 'showing up' beats 'sending CVs' every single time. As a student, it’s easy to think you need a perfect GitHub to get noticed, but your courage to stand up in a room full of CTOs showed more 'DevOps culture' than any certification could. You didn't just ask for a job; you demonstrated the exact kind of communication and initiative that separates great engineers from the rest. Huge congrats on the internship—ExCeL’s loss was definitely Fivium/Tarmac’s gain!
Yeah exactly and I didn’t even need to show my CV or my GitHub. Thank you!
I have learnt a lot from your story, it helps when you are confident and not afraid to speak up. Whenever I go for tech meetups, I just enter and go out, but really, what's the point of going if I never talk to someone?, keeping quiet won't get me anywhere in this industry
Exactly Yahaya, there is no point of not speaking up at a physical meetup honestly. You always get some sort of opportunity tbh, has always worked for me
This post is so inspiring! Congratulations on your achievements!
This is a testimony to the value of showing up and putting yourself out there.
Thank you Julien!
Thank you! You definitely should… you get free pizzas and drinks plus you talk to cool tech people. Highly recommended

I know right?😂
I love stories like this—they're truly inspiring! ✨ Thanks for sharing! 🙌
Thank you Maya! :)
All the best for Internship
Ok. Now I'm going to do the same thing you did. I really want to network this year. Congratulations on your Courage and thank you for sharing you experience Maame!
