Phares Irungu

I’m a software developer with 4 years of experience delivering fast, high-quality products. I’m skilled in using and integrating AI technologies, and I’m known for strong communication and collaboration that drive smooth development and clear technical execution.

I currently run and build two part-time startups: Audility and Kidstory. At Audility, I developed a Kenyan procurement tool that analyzes over 100K+ government awarded contracts to deliver insights like the prices that actually win, suppliers with repeat awards, peak award periods, and contracts nearing expiry for data-backed procurement bidding. At Kidstory, I built an app that helps young children turn imaginations into AI generated kid stories, with educational features like simple word definitions and word pronunciations.

Previously, I’ve been a software developer at Lingerie By FashionPalette, where I designed and maintained the main website—ensuring it’s responsive, fast, user-friendly, secure, and highly available. Earlier, as an IT Intern at NSDCC, I supported teams by maintaining workstations and networks, diagnosing and fixing network issues, and resolving hardware, software, and connectivity problems to minimize downtime.
