Aspiring software developer with a focus on innovative IT solutions.
What I'm looking for
I'm a dedicated software developer with two years of experience in the IT sector, holding a Bachelor's Degree in Applied Computing, Information Security, and Forensics. My journey in technology has been marked by a commitment to applying my technical skills to build effective software solutions, conduct thorough software analysis, and engage in rigorous testing and debugging processes.
During my tenure as a Sales and IT Assistant at Market Bookshop, I successfully streamlined operations by implementing a CCTV security system and an inventory management system, resulting in a remarkable 150% increase in profits. My role as an IT Attachee at Murang’a Water and Sanitation Company further honed my skills in network design and system configuration, where I oversaw the repair of computers and printers, enhancing workflow efficiency.
I am eager to take on more challenging roles that will allow me to expand my programming capabilities and contribute to innovative projects. My technical expertise includes programming languages such as TypeScript, JavaScript, and Python, along with web development frameworks like React and Node.js. I am passionate about continuous learning and innovation in the tech field.
