In a small town in Haroonabad, Punjab, a young person sets out on a journey that will defy expectations and overcome challenges. This story is about pursuing a typical career and discovering an undying passion for computer science.
A New Opportunity
Sometimes, life takes us on a journey we least expect. It started with a casual scroll through Facebook, where the IEC Apprenticeship Programme caught Ahmad Shehanshah’s eye. At that time, life was challenging, with limited finances and the weight of repeated failures in Chartered Accountancy (CA). Initially, he chose CA, which seemed like a path to job security in Pakistan’s challenging economy. It became clear that CA wasn’t the right fit for him. And there was a need for a change and a fresh perspective on the future.
A Life-Altering Experience with IEC
After joining IEC, he was able to break free from his limitations and unleash his deep passion for computer science. The program not only provided him with many educational and networking opportunities, but with the help of the supportive environment, he was able to overcome self-loathing and depression.
Ahmad enrolled for a Bachelor’s in Computer Science at Virtual University after discovering his true passion for the field. He is currently completing his studies. Furthermore, he recently completed an internship at Bytewise Limited as a DevOps Fellow to gain further insights into the professional world of Cloud Computing.
A Story of Determination and Vision
This is a tale of unwavering dedication and courage to break free from limitations and follow one’s passions. The journey has come far from rough beginnings, and the future promises well-earned success.
