My expertise spans various aspects of the software development lifecycle, and I take pride in delivering high-quality solutions that have a meaningful impact on our customers' lives.

My academic foundation includes a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science from Egerton University, where I honed my analytical and problem-solving skills. I am passionate about leveraging technology to drive innovation and have a proven track record of contributing to successful projects.

I thrive in dynamic environments, working collaboratively to turn ideas into reality. I am excited about the possibilities of pushing technological boundaries to create solutions that address real-world challenges.
