About Me ¶

I am a Senior Software Engineer based in Kenya. I love writing code that solves real life problems and helps business owners thrive by leveraging the power of software. Besides creating software, I love God. When I'm not staring at my laptop, I'm probably in a church somewhere.

I have hobbies too :) I love music, so I'll probably always have an ear warm at any given time.

My Software Development Journey ¶

Discovery ¶

I encountered computers in a high school lab at Starehe Boys Center. My passion was ignited when I discovered that I could write simple bash scripts to automate my workflow. Since then, I have never looked back.

BSC Computer Science, University Of Nairobi ¶

I studied at "The University" as they like to call it. At UoN I the technicalities of software engineering and got the principles that allowed me to become a Software Engineer today

My Work ¶

I have been privileged to work on projects in Kenya and Tanzania and my work has been used by over 30 million people. Most notably, I was the lead engineer in building chanjo.health.co.ke and portal.health.co.ke for the Kenya government. This platform went on to be used during the Covid-19 Pandemic by over 17 Million Kenyans for vaccination. Certificates generated on the platform were verified and recognized by other countries including the Uk government.

You can see more cool stuff I have worked on under the portfolio section of this website.

Technology stack ¶

I primarily build applications using Vue Js and python - Django Rest Framework
