What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a software engineering internship where I can build on my React Native and full-stack JavaScript foundation, contribute to a professional team, and continue learning through real product work.

I built Yebo Voucher’s React Native mobile app and its Node.js/Express backend for a live peer-to-peer airtime marketplace on Google Play. I also created Ganji, an expense tracker that parses M-Pesa SMS alerts in real time with 98% accuracy.

I’ve built real-time multiplayer features with React, Node.js, and Socket.IO, and contributed frontend UI work to the Songa ride-hailing prototype. I’m building on Computer Science coursework and ALX engineering certifications as I pursue a software engineering internship.
