In the bustling world of technology, there exists an unsung hero - a computer enthusiast often dubbed "The Man Behind the Keyboard." Meet EFAC Scholar Maxwel Ochieng, a determined and passionate individual, currently pursuing his dreams as a third-year Bachelor of Science in Software Engineering student at KCA University. But that's not all - he recently achieved a remarkable milestone by graduating with a Certification in DevOps Engineering from Moringa School, supported by EFAC’s Continuing Education and Professional Development Fund. A true tech prodigy in the making, Maxwel's story is one of a burning desire to make a difference.

For Maxwel, the journey hasn't been without challenges. Balancing his rigorous degree studies with the demanding DevOps certification at Moringa School was no easy feat. Embracing the philosophy of 'where there's a will, there's a way,' he conquered the hurdles before him. Maxwell attributes his success to a potent combination of passion, consistency and determination - a mantra that helped him rise above the challenges that came his way.

Maxwel shares, "My Moringa experience was tough but rewarding. The world of technology is vast, and staying up-to-date with its ever-changing landscape demands endless learning. I'm driven to wake up each day, eager to learn something new. With my newfound DevOps skills, I hope to identify repetitive human tasks and automate them to save valuable time and resources. I'm determined to be a catalyst for positive change, one line of code at a time."

And Maxwel doesn't just dream; he takes action. At the moment, he's leading a team that is developing the EFAC Community Portal - a custom digital platform that aims to unite EFAC Scholars & volunteers. The portal's purpose is to facilitate resource-sharing for personal and professional development and streamline EFAC's communication with Scholars. It's a project that perfectly reflects Maxwel's vision of using technology for the greater good.
