+My name is Martin Mwaka, and I am currently developing my coding skills with the goal of securing a position as a software engineer within the next 12 months.
+
+My favorite sport is swimming. I enjoy it because it clears my mind after a busy week of studying and work, while also keeping me fit with minimal strain on my body.
+
+Although I don’t have a single favorite food, I am currently focused on cooking healthy meals, such as vegetables and legumes. This not only supports my overall health but also helps me maintain good blood pressure and reduce the risk of illness.
+
+One interesting fact about me is that I used to be a member of a public speaking club (Toastmasters) that counted Liz Truss among its members - long before she entered politics and became Prime Minister.
