Autobiography

I am a native of Tujereng Village in the Kombo South District of the Gambia. I attended Nusrat High School after finished primary education and later worked with the defunct European Development Fund (EDF) before joining the Medical Research Council (MRC) The Gambia September 2002.

I started at MRC as a Data Entry Clerk and remained in that position until May 2007 when I became a Data Supervisor, a position I maintained for three years. In June 2010, I rose up again to become an Assistant Data Manger for ten months then got promoted to Research Records Manager in April 2011, the position I currently maintained.

I had always wanted to become a medical doctor during my school days and that inspired me to read all the core sciences (Physics, Chemistry and Biology alongside Mathematics, Further Maths, etc.) during my high school tenure. But somewhere along the way whilst I worked with the EDF, I met a Nigerian friend who introduced me to computing and from then on my career ambitions were set in that direction. The most fascinating part of things is that I nearly fought the man who introduced me to computing in our first meeting and henceforth we became very good friends.

Besides my job, I love being with my family (wife, son and daughter), I love football and supports Real Madrid Football Club, reading (I read close to a hundred novels written by both Western and African writers, biographies, autobiographies, and have a small library with over hundred books of varying topics), movies, TVs, etc.
