Full-stack software developer specialized in React, Node, and cloud deployments.
What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven software developer with hands-on experience building full-stack web applications using React.js, Node.js, and cloud platforms like Azure and AWS. I prioritize scalable, reliable, and user-centric solutions, and I have a track record of optimizing performance and debugging complex systems.
I have authored technical content for the Microsoft Tech Community, trained in AWS cloud fundamentals, and completed intensive developer traineeships where I mastered React, Node/Express (and Hono.js), SQL Server, and Azure services. My projects include a live seat-reservation system with M-Pesa integration, a health information system, and a gallery app using Firebase.
I am an active Microsoft Learn Student Ambassador and community leader, having led web development groups and organized events that reached hundreds of learners. I bring a blend of technical depth, practical cloud experience, and a commitment to mentoring and community impact.
