I'm building human-centered web applications with React, Node.js, APIs, and networking foundations.
KenyaWhat I'm looking for
I'm developing T.Learn, an AI-powered learning platform where users can teach concepts and receive feedback. I contribute to platform design, frontend development, and more interactive, personalized learning experiences.
For an agritech hackathon project, I built the listings module for a marketplace connecting farmers and buyers. I integrated Supabase services, implemented buyer-seller matching and market price alerts, and collaborated with the development team.
During my ICT attachment at Kenya National Library Service and American Spaces, I supported ICT systems, system updates, routine operations, and network connectivity. I also collaborated on software development work and responded to user and stakeholder technical requirements.
I'm pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Information and Communication Technology at Laikipia University, with interests in cybersecurity, system administration, and AI learning tools. My hands-on stack includes JavaScript, Python, React, Express.js, Node.js, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Supabase, and networking technologies.
