There's a popular saying that luck is when opportunity meets preparedness and 20-year-old tech guru Enoch Kambale embodies this perfectly. Despite dropping out of school over ideological differences with his lecturers, Kambale defied the odds, turning his passion for technology into a successful career as a software developer.
Having scored 436 marks in his Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) and emerging as the top student in the Coastal region, he earned an opportunity to join Mang'u High School, one of Kenya's most prestigious institutions.
After scoring an A of 83 points from Mang'u, he joined the University of Nairobi (UoN) where, however, his academic journey was short-lived after he was forced to drop out after his lecturer accused him of doing more than what was needed for a project. 20-year-old tech enthusiast and guru Enock Kambale posing for a photo at his office.
Enoch Kambale ''I joined UoN's Computer Science Program but I dropped out after a lecturer told me I did too much on a class project, and another one told me that I have an attitude,'' Kambale narrated.
