Sheila Kahwai

Sheila Kahwai is a Python developer from Nairobi, Kenya. She began her tech journey back in 2014 when she started pursuing a Computer Science degree. Eight years later, in 2022, she rediscovered her passion for tech after joining a coding Bootcamp. As a student, she knew contributing to open-source was important but she didn’t know why and where to start. When she came across the Outreachy internship program, she discovered that some of the most important applications being used are made possible by contributors no different than her. And this is when her open-source journey with JupyterHub began. When she is away from her computer, she enjoys watching documentaries, trying out new recipes, and attending music festivals with her friends.
