Meet the Camsolions: Emiliet Nchanji

In Camsol’s office, you might spot a young developer with Next.js code on one screen and a playlist of uplifting Congolese gospel in her headphones. She taps her foot (slightly off-beat, as she’d be first to joke) while coaxing a tricky bug into submission. Who is this multi-talented Camsolion blending modern tech with a dose of soulful joy? Meet Emiliet Nchanji, a front-end developer who swiftly rose from intern to essential team member – all while keeping her sense of humour and humility intact.

From Intern to Full-Fledged Developer

When Emiliet first joined Camsol as an intern, she was eager to learn and prove herself. She quickly got up to speed, soaking up everything from code review feedback to tips from senior devs. Most importantly, she never hesitated to ask for help when stuck – a simple act that turbocharged her growth. It wasn’t long before Emiliet shed the “intern” label and stepped up as a full-time developer. With hard work and an open mind, she transformed from the newbie to a trusted member of the front-end team.

It certainly helped that Emiliet came in with a well-rounded background. She studied mathematics and computer science at university, then earned a professional diploma in web design (a VQD) and even picked up skills in branding and marketing. This diverse mix of know-how lets her view problems from multiple angles – logical, visual, and even business-minded. That strong foundation, combined with her can-do attitude, means she grasps new concepts quickly and understands how to make technology truly work for people.

Front-End Flair

Today, Emiliet is one of the go-to front-end wizards at Camsol, turning ideas and designs into interactive web experiences. She’s fluent in modern web tools like Next.js, Tailwind CSS, and TypeScript – the whole front-end shebang that keeps apps sleek and stable. If you see a smooth, fast-loading page or a clever interface on a Camsol project, chances are Emiliet had a hand in it.

What makes her work shine isn’t just the code she writes, but the perspective she brings. Thanks to her design and marketing know-how, she codes with the end user in mind – making pages as intuitive and pretty as they are functional. Need a complex process visualised for a client? Emiliet might just whip up a quick Mermaid diagram (handy little flowcharts generated from text) to map it out. For her, clear communication and quality in every detail go hand-in-hand. She’s contributed to all kinds of projects – from sleek landing pages to intricate dashboards – always with an eye for user-friendly design and solid functionality. And true to habit, if something isn’t clicking, she’ll ask questions and collaborate until the solution falls into place.

Zen Mode: Code and Congolese Gospel

What’s Emiliet’s secret to staying focused? Music and joy. To get into her coding zen, she often cues up her favourite Congolese gospel songs. She says the happiness that music brings is “out of this world,” and it shows: you might find her calmly debugging a problem while humming a soulful chorus only she can hear. Bugs beware – when Emiliet is grooving in the zone, no error stands a chance.

Despite her growing expertise, she stays humble and curious. She firmly believes there’s no such thing as a silly question if it helps you learn. One of her tech idols, Julia Evans, famously encourages that kind of curiosity – a philosophy Emiliet takes to heart. She never shies away from admitting “I’m stuck” and then diving in to find the answer. She also cites author Anne Lamott as a personal muse. Lamott’s down-to-earth wisdom helps Emiliet keep perspective (and a sense of humour) through any challenge. With influences like these, it’s no wonder she approaches coding and life with a balance of enthusiasm and calm.

Music, Dance, and a Dash of Spice

Outside of work, Emiliet’s creativity and zest shine just as bright. A music lover through and through, she can spend hours curating the perfect playlist. Afro beats, gospel, rumba – if it’s good (and quality is non-negotiable), it’s on her list. And yes, she’ll sing and dance along (when no one’s watching), though she’s the first to admit she’s not exactly a pop star. Some colleagues can really bust a move, but Emiliet cheerfully claims to have “the rhythm of a white man.” It’s the kind of self-deprecating humour that makes her even more endearing to the team.

Emiliet hails from Cameroon’s Northwest Region, known for its rich blend of cultures. She keeps a piece of home with her through food, especially her all-time favourite dish: corn fufu with khati khati. This traditional meal features grilled chicken simmered with leafy greens in a spiced palm oil sauce, served alongside soft corn fufu (a porridge made from corn flour). It’s hearty, authentic, and absolutely irresistible – real comfort food. And the spicier, the better. Emiliet is known for adding extra yellow pepper to her plate, the kind of heat that would make others break a sweat, but she’ll just grin and go for seconds.

In Emiliet Nchanji, Camsol has a developer who blends technical skill, creative flair, and genuine heart. She proves you can be serious about growth and still have fun along the way – whether it’s geeking out over a new framework or dancing without a care. Picture Emiliet on a Friday evening: a successful week of coding behind her, a lively tune playing as she updates her playlist, and a plate of khati khati with extra pepper ready to enjoy. She may joke about having “the rhythm of a white man” on the dance floor, but when it comes to coding, Emiliet is always perfectly on beat.
