I have carefully cultivated diverse social networks from my university days to my professional roles, which have shaped my development as a passionate advocate for tech-driven social impact. Using one of my freelancer channels, I worked with several coding and tech schools, running online surveys during bi-weekly mentorship sessions to assess students' familiarity with job searching and freelancing. One notable example is Rise Academy, where I mentored young developers. Although students were technically skilled, they struggled to apply their knowledge professionally. In response, I developed a four-week freelancing course, delivering short lessons, practical assignments, and portfolio clinics. The course teaches portfolio building, client outreach, pricing, and project management. Rise Academy and other schools, including Digital Shelter and Mire International School, have incorporated the course into their curricula, helping students earn online and navigate the professional tech landscape.
I maintained relationships with other notable stakeholders in the tech industry, including iRisehub Somalia's first innovation hub center. Before joining iRiseHub, I had the opportunity to meet the team at the Mogadishu Tech Summit. During our discussions, I learned about their challenges with social media engagement and visibility for the summit. I proposed a solution: integrating an advanced intelligence tool to streamline and enhance their content posting, thereby boosting the company's online presence and community engagement from 8,000 to 40,000. Managing these tasks effectively showcased my potential and directly led to a paid internship at iRiseHub, where I later became Chief Technical Officer. In that role, I provided leadership in transitioning from on-premise applications to cloud-based solutions, while coordinating projects ranging from startup support through Dalbile to high-level national events at Minbar Initiative .
