The Girl Who Said Yes
Grace Nakiyemba is the Founder and CEO of GraceTech Solutions and a software engineering scholar at Groundbreaker Talents, with a background rooted in resilience, purpose, and belief in the power of technology to transform lives.
An alumna of Code Queen, Grace grew up in rural Uganda as the firstborn of seven children raised by a single mother — a beginning that could have defined her limits, but instead became the foundation of her drive.
Once intimidated by computers, Grace discovered her passion for technology in high school and refused to let financial barriers stop her. Today she is building expertise across software development and cybersecurity.
Beyond writing code, Grace is on a mission to dismantle barriers that keep girls from underserved backgrounds away from STEM.
