![]() ![]() Because I had a mind that C language can do it all, but when I looked on other people’s works, I started to think of accepting to learn more technologies like the web. I did not learn computer languages while in school, I concentrated on learning the principles. I am a computer Scientist and that is all, So I started getting committed to my learning, watching tutorials and reading PDF files. ![]() Doing anything like Computing sounded so awkward to me, I wanted to be an electrical engineer, but when we did the first exam, I realized there is no going back, C programming was my first programming language. I did not know about programming till my second month in the University. What was your experience like while starting out in this field? I will have a sleepless night just to make sure my client is happy and that am able to meet the deadline if he has motivated me. I have the courage to do things, hardwork is in my DNA. I do not remember any project I have failed to finish with full entrustment from my client. Man, I just do not have a choice, the moment I take a project, I always want to finish it. What keeps you going when the challenges seem grave? You must be clever and wise to do programming because when you are thinking, you are doing it for 1000s of people, the entire company operations rests on your shoulders. When I get more projects with same time limits, I find it difficult to have enough sleep, but this is for a short time. Sometimes I fail to read the client requirements and then i end up doing a completely different prototype, this can consume much time. But when you build the first prototype, he (Client) starts to realize more is needed. Sometimes the client will give you half-baked requirements, you try to ask him for more and tells you "That is all". "Ĭharles writing code for a new project So Charles, what is cool about this kind of work? Are there challenges? Travis and Bucky Roberts (The New Boston) youtube tutorials taught me how to program. I was motivated by my lecturers at Makerere University as well as Mr. In most cases new adjustments arise after a few months of software being in use (Add this add that, change here change there), so I try to be patient with them because it builds my career, character and Integrity. Then I keep checking on them in case there are problems. Well most of my clients don’t really understand much about the world of ICT so I try to be patient and wait till they learn how to use that software program. I go ahead to train my clients on how to use the systems that I develop. "Well, I do software Engineering and System Analysis and Design, I write source codes from start to finish, and deploy my software on live servers like AWS, VULTR and other Cloud services. This is what we asked In a nutshell what Charles do as a Software Developer and what motivated him to pursue that career path? In today's career spotlight we bring you Charles Tembo whose only soley survives on his laptop and has designed a number of very IT solutions. ![]() In a world that is largely governed by Information technology, many of the practioners in the field find themselves starting up their own jobs as the primary capital needed is a laptop plus an internet connection. ![]()
