What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and opportunities for growth.

I'm a dedicated software engineer with a strong foundation in full-stack development and DevOps practices. My journey began with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from Kibabii University, where I developed a passion for creating efficient and scalable software solutions. Over the years, I have honed my skills in various programming languages and frameworks, allowing me to tackle complex challenges in both backend and frontend development.

At ProBT, I designed and implemented a monitoring system that reduced downtime by 20%, showcasing my ability to enhance system reliability. My experience as a technology lead at e-kraal involved upgrading legacy systems and implementing CI/CD pipelines, which significantly improved deployment times and reduced bugs. I thrive in collaborative environments, having led teams to achieve project goals while fostering a culture of continuous improvement and innovation.
