About

I’m a passionate and versatile full-stack developer with over four years of experience building scalable web and mobile applications. My work spans backend and frontend development, system design, and blockchain technologies, with a focus on creating practical solutions that deliver real-world impact. I’ve worked in diverse roles, including as a System Designer at Mango Hosting Ltd, where I contributed to system architecture, security, and client support, and as a Full Stack Developer at Rhea Africa, where I helped develop IoT-driven platforms and data systems for sustainable agriculture. I also founded Live Software Developer, a startup that provided software development and web hosting services. I’ve won several hackathons, including the Polkadot Safari Hackathon and the Bitke x Near Hungerthon Hackathon, demonstrating my technical expertise and problem-solving ability. My technical skills include Python (Django, Flask), JavaScript (Next.js, React.js, Ionic, Angular), Dart (Flutter), PHP (Laravel, WordPress), and Blockchain (Rust, Starknet, Near, IPFS, dApps), along with database management using MySQL, Postgres, Firestore, and Supabase. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Commerce from Multimedia University of Kenya and certifications in Near Blockchain Development and Starknet Protocol Training. I’m committed to continuous learning and building technology that empowers communities.
