What I'm looking for

I seek an entry-level software role where I can apply programming and system-design skills, contribute to product development, learn from experienced engineers, and grow in a collaborative, impact-driven team.

I am a Computer Science graduate with strong experience in software development, system design, and applied programming across C, C++, Java, Python, PHP, and web technologies. I have built production-oriented projects such as Usafiri, an express matatu booking app, and FarmGuard, a weather-driven crop recommendation app, and placed second in the Embedded Systems category at the JKUAT Hackathon 2023.

My background includes industrial attachments focused on teaching programming, computer maintenance, networking, customer-facing support, and software testing. I contribute to community tech initiatives as a Microsoft Learn Student Ambassador and a member of the Computer Society of Kirinyaga, bringing analytical rigor, academic research experience, and a collaborative work ethic to development and evaluation roles.
