What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative environment that fosters innovation and growth.

I am an aspiring Backend Developer currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and Chemistry at the University of Nairobi. My academic background equips me with a unique perspective on problem-solving and analytical thinking, which I apply to my work in technology. I am passionate about building efficient backend systems that contribute to impactful tech solutions.

Throughout my journey, I have developed a range of projects, including the GlobalGigs Bot, which integrates job links from various websites using BeautifulSoup and Python-Flask, and the Jumia Clone Project, a user-friendly platform for browsing products. My experience with Flask, Django, and Node.js, combined with my skills in database management and API development, positions me well to tackle real-world challenges in collaborative environments.

I am eager to blend my scientific background with my coding skills to create innovative solutions. My commitment to continuous learning and development drives me to stay updated with the latest technologies and best practices in backend development.
