What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic environment where I can grow, innovate, and contribute to impactful projects.

I am a young, passionate tech enthusiast currently studying at Rwanda Coding Academy. My journey in software development, embedded systems, and cybersecurity is driven by an insatiable curiosity and a commitment to continuous learning. Though I may not have formal experience or a degree yet, my hands-on approach and eagerness to tackle challenges set me apart in the tech landscape.

One of my notable projects, MediScan, is a cross-platform app designed to help users detect counterfeit medicine by scanning QR codes. This project not only honed my skills in React.js, Express.js, and MongoDB but also reinforced my belief in technology's potential to solve real-world problems. Additionally, I developed MuziCart, a platform that empowers artists to monetize their music directly, utilizing React Native and Firebase to create a seamless user experience.
