My Hacktoberfest Journey

I’m contributing to Hacktoberfest for the first time, and I am so excited.

Firstly, I have no experience with hackathons, so this was a huge learning curve even though I decided to contribute as a writer because there was no role for a product manager.

Resources that helped

• “Hacktoberfest Info Session”, thanks to WeTechNG for hosting.

• a GitHub account and knowledge from being a Software Engineering student with AltschoolAfrica

Why I’m doing this:

As a Product Manager, I work a lot with software engineers and wanted to explore using my GitHub more.

This would expand my skills as a Product Manager so it’s a win-win situation. I plan on contributing to open source health tech projects and to be honest it’s been hard but more on that soon.
