    Hi Denzel,

    Great question! In my view, a student can develop a personal brand in tech by first identifying a clear focus, such as data, software, or IT, and consistently building skills in that area. Sharing projects, learnings, and achievements on platforms like LinkedIn or GitHub helps showcase real-world ability. Creating a simple portfolio and engaging with tech communities can increase visibility. Finally, networking with professionals and seeking feedback helps refine the brand and open opportunities.

    Hope I was able to help 😃
