I have always worked as an
independent web developer, mobile app developer. I was developing android
educational apps in my own time as I wish. That to say I was one woman army. I
discovered when there is no deadline and no pressure, my work is getting delayed
endlessly.
Seeing the popularity of open
source culture, I got interested to work for open source organization. There
are so many organization who are working towards social cause like eradicate
poverty, improve poor’s life.
One of such organization is
Mifos Initiative. So I applied to work for them through Outreachy program.
Outreachy is the successor of the Outreach Program for Women
(OPW), which connects talented and passionate developers with
people working in free and open source software
Luckily I got accepted into
program. Purpose of Mifos Initiative is to empower poor women and to give them
financial freedom. You can get more detail from their website.
I had the knowledge of Android Cloud Computing, Rest API, Java
Spring framework. They are using the same software stack. I love mathematics
too. As Mifos(Microfinance) is a Financial software, so I got interested to
work for them.
