What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative, growth-oriented role in web or software development where I can solve real problems, work on full-stack projects, and expand my technical skills.

I am a results-driven junior full-stack developer trained at Moringa School and The Nyeri National Polytechnic, with hands-on experience building responsive web applications using JavaScript, React.js, Node.js, Python, Express.js, MongoDB and MySQL. I have delivered full-stack projects including a personal portfolio, an online bookstore with authentication and shopping cart functionality, and a real-time task management app.

I bring practical freelance experience designing user-friendly, responsive sites for small businesses, plus internship experience collaborating on full-stack applications, debugging, peer code reviews, and maintaining code quality. I am eager to join a dynamic team where I can contribute to meaningful projects and continue growing my software engineering skills.
