#4 Meet Nasa’i, a Bangkit Graduate Whose Patience Is Truly Admirable

Throughout Bangkit, you will undoubtedly meet remarkable participants. However, have you ever met someone as resilient as Muhammad Nasa’i Kairupan (22)? He is a Bangkit graduate who has struggled since he lost his father and became the family’s primary breadwinner. 🥖 

Before going to Institut Teknologi Kalimantan as an Informatics student, Sa’i—that’s what he’s called—took a gap year to contribute to his family’s income. He once worked as a porter at transportation hubs and became an online taxi bike driver. 🛵

The difficult situation built Sa’i’s resilience when he joined Bangkit to nurture his tech dream. He learned Cloud Computing in Bangkit 2023 Batch 1 and admitted that this program gave him a deeper understanding, especially when dealing with complex terminologies related to cloud learning on Google’s platform. 👨‍💻

“Bangkit was a game-changer for me. It gave me the knowledge, skills, and confidence to succeed in IT. After Bangkit, I became a Full-Stack Developer at Universitas Balikpapan, who can develop both the frontend and backend of the campus’ web and app.” 💡

Read Nasa’i’s full story here, and get ready to be inspired! 🌟 

Thank you for dedicating your time and knowledge to nurturing Indonesia’s future tech talent in Bangkit. Your contribution has shaped our students’ future success and opened their minds, as Malcolm Forbes said:

“The purpose of education is to replace an empty mind with an open one.”
(Malcolm S. Forbes, Former New Jersey State Senator)
