I’m Richard Chukwu, a Computer Engineering graduate from the University of Benin in Nigeria. My journey into tech has been fueled by a blend of curiosity and an unwavering commitment to growth.

It was a moment of validation, but also one filled with uncertainty. Could I truly make an impact in open source? Would I be able to contribute meaningfully to a project as vast and complex as OpenTelemetry? Now, as I wrap up this incredible journey, I can say with confidence that the experience has been transformative in ways I never imagined. + +## Overcoming Fear: Imposter Syndrome Didn’t Win + +One of my biggest fears stepping into Outreachy was imposter syndrome. OpenTelemetry is a widely used project, and I worried about keeping up with seasoned contributors. However, I quickly realized that the open-source community thrives on collaboration, mentorship, and shared learning. My mentor and the community members were incredibly supportive, always willing to guide me when I felt stuck. I learned that asking questions and seeking help is not a weakness—it’s how we grow. + +## A Highlight: Seeing My Work Make an Impact + +One of the most fulfilling moments of my internship was when my [first major contribution](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-erlang/pull/825)—a detailed setup guide for OpenTelemetry Erlang contributors—was merged. What seemed like a simple task at first turned into a deep dive into improving developer onboarding, documenting tribal knowledge, and making contributions more accessible.
