selamawit's Story It started with a simple website I wanted to build. I was frustrated by the limitations of existing sites, so I decided to try and make my own! I dove into tutorials, initially just messing around, but I quickly got hooked. The feeling of seeing my code translate into a functional webpage was an amazing high. That feeling of creation – of building something from nothing – completely captivated me and turned it into a real passion. That initial curiosity sparked a fire that's still burning strong today.

🙋‍♀️ selamawit's Motivation

My main motivation for SheCodes is to finally channel my passion for coding into a concrete skill set. I've always been fascinated by how code brings ideas to life, and I see SheCodes as the perfect environment to learn from experienced instructors and build a strong foundation. I want to move beyond just admiring code to actually creating it. The career prospects are also a big draw; I know that coding skills are in high demand, and I want to build a future doing something I genuinely love.

🤹‍♀️ selamawit's Hobbies

Coding is definitely a major hobby – almost an obsession! But outside of that, I enjoy reading science fiction novels (especially cyberpunk!), going for long walks in nature to clear my head, and experimenting with different types of coffee. I also love learning new things in general, and I’m always picking up a new skill – currently trying to learn digital art. It's all about creative expression, whether it's through code, words, or pixels.

The Delac Foundation Mission

Women hold only 25% of coding jobs and earn 30% less than men. In many developing countries, over 65% of women lack bank accounts, making it difficult to invest in their education.

The Delac Foundation is changing that. We provide women in developing countries with free coding education, equipping them with the skills to build a better future. In partnership with SheCodes, we offer training in product development, design, and management, empowering women to thrive in the tech industry.
