Beyond Tech Skills - Tech4Dev Gave Me Community and a Purpose

Sometimes, all it takes is choosing a different path to reach your goal.

For Jemila Ibrahim Dotto, the dream was always to help people. With a degree in Environmental Science, she never imagined herself in tech. But today, she’s a frontend developer making real impact in her career.

In this episode of TechEmpowered, Jemila shares how she went from self-learning to working at one of Nigeria’s top banks, how she balanced a full-time job with the Women Techsters Fellowship, and how Tech4Dev gave her more than just skills—it gave her a community and the drive to keep going.

If you’ve ever wondered whether passion and purpose can find a place in tech—this episode is for you.
