Ruhama's Story I became interested in coding when I delved into the computer stream of electrical engineering. As I explored this field, I was introduced to various aspects of programming and its critical role in designing and implementing technology solutions. The coursework and projects in this stream highlighted how coding is integral to everything from developing software to creating algorithms that drive hardware functionality. Working on projects that combined both hardware and software gave me a firsthand look at the power of coding. I was fascinated by how programming could bridge the gap between theoretical concepts and practical applications, enabling me to build and optimize systems in ways that were both innovative and effective. This experience ignited a passion for coding, as I realized how essential it is for tackling complex engineering problems and advancing technology. This foundation in electrical engineering not only deepened my understanding of how coding fits into the broader tech landscape but also fueled my desire to further develop my programming skills.

🤹‍♀️ Ruhama's Hobbies

I have a few hobbies that I really enjoy. Drawing is a big one for me; it’s a great way to relax and express creativity. I love experimenting with different styles and techniques, whether it’s sketching something from life or working on imaginative pieces. I’m also an avid reader. I enjoy diving into a good book and getting lost in different worlds and perspectives. It’s a wonderful way to unwind and also to learn new things, whether it’s fiction, non-fiction, or anything in between. Another hobby I’m passionate about is designing. While my experience is mostly with basic graphic design using tools like Canva, I find it incredibly rewarding to create visually appealing designs. Whether it’s crafting social media graphics or designing simple layouts, it’s exciting to see my ideas come to life and to explore the different ways design can communicate a message or evoke an emotion.

The SheCodes 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 SheCodes 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.
