Ex-Amazon | Backend Engineer | Building My EdTech Dream

Hi, I’m Aisha, and I’ll be your coding buddy for this workshop. We’ll explore, experiment, and build your first app together so you leave not just with something you made, but with the feeling that coding is for you.

I have 7+ years in tech, and I have been working primarily as a backend engineer. I’ve worked at Amazon Germany, Sennder (the EU’s largest logistics startup), and built real-world projects in both service-based and product-based companies. Now, as the founder of my edtech platform, I focus purely on programming fundamentals, addressing the common gap between knowing syntax and building problem-solving skills.

What matters most to me is seeing beginners go from "I can't code" to "coding is so easy". I love seeing students have “aha!” moments. Nothing makes me happier than watching a once-struggling beginner build something on their own. I’ll be there in the trenches with you, debugging code, answering questions, and cheering on your progress.
