We were thrilled to learn about the outstanding accomplishments of two of our standout students from the ALX Software Engineering program, who were recognized at a prestigious tech conference. These exceptional individuals not only captured the attention of attendees but also secured an all-expenses-paid trip to Seattle for the Microsoft Build event, a showcase of AI’s future. Their success is a testament to their pivotal roles in shaping the tech landscape and advancing AI in Africa. Here's a closer look at their inspiring journeys:

Meet Godfred Awudi

Godfred Awudi is a dynamic student pursuing a Bachelor's Degree in Telecommunication Engineering and Computer Science, specializing in Software Engineering at ALX as part of the 19th cohort. Hailing from Amasaman, Ghana, Godfred is passionate about data science and artificial intelligence. He envisions using these cutting-edge technologies to develop innovative solutions for real-world challenges.

Currently, Godfred is leading a project aimed at promoting mental wellness through technology, specifically targeting young adults and adolescents dealing with emotional distress. Driven by the often-overlooked issue of mental health among African youth, he is determined to use his software engineering skills to address this critical need. His project provides accessible mental health support through an online platform, offering users anonymity as they seek assistance from professional counselors. By destigmatizing mental health and providing practical solutions, Godfred's initiative aims to transform lives and foster a healthier society.

Meet Perry Kwabena Amoako

Perry Kwabena Amoako, another standout student, is in his final year of a Bachelor of Science program in Information Technology Management, with a specialization in mobile application development and AI research. Perry's journey is deeply personal, shaped by witnessing his brother’s battle with a serious illness, which has inspired his lifelong mission.

Raised in a humble but noble household, Perry’s life changed dramatically when his brother was diagnosed with a tumor following what initially seemed like a minor injury. Despite medical interventions, including an MRI scan and a biopsy, his brother eventually underwent an amputation, a life-altering experience for Perry and his family.

Determined to turn adversity into opportunity, Perry is driven by the vision of revolutionizing cancer detection using AI and machine learning. His dream is to develop a technology capable of identifying cancer cells at their earliest stages through simple blood samples, reducing the need for invasive procedures and enabling early interventions. By championing the mantra "Disability is not inability," Perry seeks to empower individuals facing health challenges and pave the way for a brighter, more inclusive future.


In Conclusion

The extraordinary efforts of Godfred and Perry exemplify the spirit of innovation and resilience that defines ALX SE students. Their unwavering commitment to using technology for social good highlights the transformative potential of education and entrepreneurship in driving positive change. As they continue to forge ahead on their respective journeys, they stand as beacons of inspiration for future generations of innovators and changemakers.
