About Me

I'm a Software Engineer who turns complex requirements into elegant, production-ready solutions. I specialize in full-stack development with TypeScript, React, Next.js, Node.js, Flutter, and Python.

Beyond development, I'm expanding my expertise in cloud infrastructure and DevOps practices, with AWS certifications and hands-on experience deploying scalable applications. I thrive in dynamic environments where I can solve complex problems and contribute to meaningful projects.

Currently based in Kenya, I'm open to opportunities that challenge me to grow while making a positive impact.
