- In this episode of My Tech Story Africa, we delve into the remarkable journey of Mercy Thira, whose path in the tech world was anything but straightforward.
From early experiences with typewriters in her mom's office to navigating a business degree that felt off-track, Mercy explored accounting and even contemplated medicine before a web hosting internship ignited her passion for coding.
Moringa's bootcamp became her pivotal launchpad, offering not only technical skills but also a profound boost in confidence. The journey wasn't a linear progression and overcoming self-doubt and societal expectations that whispered, "This isn't for girls," Mercy discovered the strength to persevere.
Now a software Chief Technology Officer at Pigi, Mercy pays it forward by mentoring other women, bridging the gap she once faced. Her story isn't just about tech; it's about defying expectations, finding a supportive community, and showcasing the audacity that can rewrite the code of what's possible for women in the tech world.
