Over the past year, I went through a challenging corporate journey. I struggled with self-doubt, lost confidence, and feared speaking up or writing code. But a few leaders believed in me, their support helped me grow personally and professionally.
During that time, I was simply searching for hope.Hope to feel heard.Hope for honest feedback.Hope to believe in myself again.
I eventually found a space filled with people who inspired me like a garden tended by kind gardeners. That inspiration helped me replant my own hope, and from that, HopeCap was born.

A Note of GratitudeThis project would not have been possible without the support of the MakerGram.
I am especially thankful to Salman Faris and Shamsudheen for their constant encouragement and belief in my potential.
HopeCap is more than just a project. It is a seed of hope that helped me rediscover my voice and confidence. I created this to be a space where others can also feel heard, valued, and inspired to keep going.
To everyone who believed in me, shared feedback, simply stood by me in silence thank you from the bottom of my heart. This is just the beginning.
HopeCap is designed to grow, learn, and reach more hearts. The journey continues.
