What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, with opportunities for growth and impactful projects.

I am a dedicated and results-oriented Computer Science professional with a Master’s degree from the University of Nairobi. With over 5 years of experience in software development, IT project management, and data analysis, I have honed my skills in designing innovative solutions and managing technical teams. My proficiency in programming, cloud computing, and system security has enabled me to lead diverse teams and collaborate effectively with stakeholders to achieve organizational goals.

At Safaricom PLC, I designed and developed scalable applications that increased system efficiency by 20% and integrated AI-driven analytics tools to enhance user engagement. My previous role as an IT Project Manager at Equity Bank Kenya allowed me to manage cross-functional teams and successfully roll out a mobile banking application that serves over 1 million customers. I am passionate about leveraging technology to drive impactful solutions and improve operational efficiency.
