About

Who am I?

I am a fullstack software engineer.

I was not always into software but had tinkered around with a few programming languages while I was in college studying cyber-security. Towards the end of my undergraduate programme, I got a chance to participate in a hackathon during Nairobi Tech Week 2016 and that is where my love/hate relationship with software began.

My first experience was in cybersecurity but that did not last long as my soul had already been set on fire so I transitioned to software which itself was a long struggle. Since then, I have had a chance to work at multiple great companies and build amazing products used by millions. I have experience across different domains having worked on backend, frontend, mobile and some devops.

Some of the technologies I have used recently include:

  • JavaScript (React Native, React, Node, Express)
  • Python(Django, Flask, FastAPI)
  • Golang
  • Android (Kotlin)
  • NoSQL(MongoDB, Cassandra)
  • SQL (PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server)
  • Azure, DigitalOcean, AWS
  • Redis
  • Git
  • Linux
