Michelle Mounde is a Software Engineer at SOPAMI. She possess expertise in project management. Colleagues describe her as "It was a pleasure mentoring Michelle Mounde during her Outreachy internship at Mozilla; she made awesome contributions to the Firefox update server, including improving the web UI for the admin app and creating a feature that allows administrators to view app updates served at specific points in time. Michelle's curiosity and meticulous planning set her apart from day one. Her ability to research and craft a detailed action plan was impressive. Michelle's writing skills are exceptional. She has a talent for making complex information accessible and engaging, a skill demonstrated on the blog posts she wrote during her internship. Despite the challenges of working remotely from Kenya with mentors in North America, Michelle's proactive work ethic and autonomy shone through. She navigated the time zone difference effectively and showed remarkable independence in her problem-solving approach. Despite the potential challenges of remote work, our regular interactions over Matrix/Element and frequent Zoom meetings ensured effective communication and collaboration. Her ability to contribute to both backend and frontend tasks exceeded our expectations, and she delivered high-quality and well-tested work. I would encourage any team looking for a talented and dedicated software engineer to consider Michelle Mounde!" and "Michelle Mounde joined Mozilla as an Outreachy intern. Over the course of 3 months, she actively worked on the Firefox update server to introduce a new feature. The first thing that amazed me is how curious Michelle is. The Outreachy program requests candidates to plan out their 3-month internship. Michelle researched almost every aspect of the internship program as well as the update server. She came up with a thought-through and detailed plan. This leads me to another talent of Michelle: she displayed strong writing skills. It’s always hard to find the right balance between keeping readers engaged and providing enough information. Have a look at Michelle’s blog. With almost no guidance, she managed to explain her work in an informative yet catchy way! Speaking of guidance, Michelle’s internship was remote. While based in Kenya, she worked with mentors in North America. There was little overlap between these timezones. For the biggest part of her day, Michelle worked autonomously and demonstrated a proactive approach to problem-solving. Last but not least, Michelle is a fast learner. I couldn’t believe it when she told us the first GitHub Pull Request she ever created was on our project! She worked on a codebase she had no prior knowledge of and she ramped up at a faster pace than we anticipated. I have no doubt Michelle will continue to thrive in her future endeavors. I highly recommend her."
