The Discover Drupal 2021 recently began the next phase of their journey. This year we have eight students. After completing their prerequisite course in July, they have all started the course for their chosen pathway.  Each month we introduce a student, and this month, we welcome Abokar Botan!

Abokar was referred to the program by Genesys Works and is entirely new to Drupal. He currently resides in Minnesota.

Tell us a little about you. What are your hobbies and interests? My name is Abokar. I am majoring in computer science. One of my hobbies is coding. My interest is to become a Software Engineer.

What is your ultimate goal in learning Drupal? My ultimate goal is to learn front-end development.

What are you most excited about regarding this program? My most exciting thing in this program is having a mentor who listens to all your ideas and gives you great advice.

If you see Abokar online in Drupal Slack or at any upcoming Drupal events, please give him a warm welcome. His Slack user name is Abokar Botan.
