What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic work environment that fosters innovation and growth, where I can contribute to impactful projects and further develop my skills.

I'm Ian Alpha, a passionate software engineer currently based in Nairobi, Kenya. With a strong foundation in computer science from the University of Nairobi, I have honed my skills through various projects and internships. My journey in tech has been marked by a commitment to building impactful solutions, such as the CogniX admin dashboards and the Mtihani Hub platform, which enhances educational access for students across Kenya.

Throughout my career, I have embraced opportunities to innovate and lead. As a founding software engineer at Mtihani Hub, I successfully launched a platform that connects students with essential revision resources. My experience spans multiple technologies, including Django, JavaScript, and AWS, and I am always eager to learn and adapt to new challenges in the tech landscape.
