What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can build and maintain websites, craft brand design, produce content, and solve technical problems in a collaborative, growth-focused team.

I am a seasoned web and graphics developer with extensive freelance and in-house experience since 2002, specializing in website development, content creation, branding and ICT support. I have delivered projects for clients across Kenya, South Africa and the UK, designed corporate identities, managed web servers and implemented content strategies that improved visibility and user engagement.

I combine technical proficiency in PHP, ASP/ASP.NET, SQL and server administration with strong design skills in Adobe Creative Suite and practical experience in mobile content, IVR and marketing. I take pride in solving business problems end-to-end — from logo and UX design to backend development, content production and ongoing site maintenance.
