Hello, Hope you all had a great weekend. Would anyone have an internship for a software engineer? My mentee, Edwin Mwaura, recently completed his studies at Egerton University and he's looking for an internship to sharpen his programming skills and gain work experience, the internship will also serve as his attachment that's needed before he can graduate. Any lead(s) will be greatly appreciated. I requested him to write a short bio, please see it below: *"Edwin Mwaura is an avid lover of technology. He recently completed his university education from Egerton University where he was pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science degree. He is skilled at Java and Python programming along with web development skills in HTML,CSS, Bootstrap and Django. Currently looking for an internship opportunity where he can put his skills into practice and learn from it as well. Please email mwauraedwin97(a)outlook.com <mwauraedwin97(a)outlook.com> to contact him."* He has worked on a couple school projects, see his GitHub profile here: https://github.com/EddieMwau Thank you.
