My Story

Nicolette Mashaba

When I joined the Techbridle Foundation's software development training earlier in the year 2025, I was still at the early stages of my coding journey. At that time, my experience was mainly limited to front-end development, Python, and C programming.

I had very little exposure to modern frameworks such as React or how full applications are built end to end. Through the Techbridle Foundation program, I was introduced to a broader range of technologies and gained hands-on experience with JavaScript, React, and web application development.

I also learned how to work with version control and collaborate on projects in a way that reflects real industry practices. The training helped me connect the dots between different technologies and understand how complete applications are built, which significantly improved my confidence.

One of the most valuable outcomes of the program was the confidence it gave me to take on new challenges. Because of the practical and supportive learning environment, I felt ready to participate in hackathons and actively contribute to building real solutions, something I would not have felt prepared to do before joining Techbridle Foundation.

Techbridle Foundation offered more than technical training. It gave me the confidence, direction, and motivation to continue growing as a software developer, and I am truly grateful for the experience.
