Message

At Edusson, I create technical and academic materials that make complex subject matter accessible, including manuals, white papers, research reports, and training resources. I also review editorial work and develop templates and documentation strategies.

At TOPTAL SYSTEMS, I authored API reference guides, integration tutorials, and examples for RESTful APIs. I translated OpenAPI/Swagger specifications into developer documentation and created troubleshooting guides and developer-portal content.

As a Senior Medical Writer at Edusson, I produce evidence-based medical and academic content, including literature reviews, clinical case summaries, research papers, and study guides. I edit manuscripts for clarity and scientific accuracy and use APA, Vancouver, Harvard, and MLA referencing styles.

At Kenya Medical Research Institute-Centre for Global Health Research and Evidence Action, I worked on data processing, quality checks, analysis, and reporting. I’m also studying for a Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery at Maseno University.
