What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative, growth-oriented role building backend and full-stack web applications where I can apply Python/Django skills, improve systems, and mentor others.

I am an Information Technology diploma graduate and full-stack developer with hands-on experience in Python, Django, React, and Tailwind CSS. I build responsive, user-friendly web applications and data-driven dashboards that improve operational efficiency.

During internships I contributed to feature development, UI updates, and backend systems, improving responsiveness and reducing recurring defects. I have delivered academic and personal projects that demonstrate attention to detail and practical problem-solving.

I helped build internal dashboards that sped data retrieval by 20% and cleaned SACCO datasets to raise data-quality scoring by over 30%. I also produced user guides and documentation that reduced onboarding and reporting time across teams.

I am dedicated to continuous learning, collaboration, and empowering women in technology, and I seek roles where I can contribute to impactful projects while growing my backend and full-stack expertise.
