About

I started in 2018 on a university IT help desk in Baraton, fixing networks and designing event posters. Along the way I picked up data work, then web development, and I haven't stopped building since.

Today I'm a full stack developer at Interactive Media Services in Nairobi, running country-wide promotion platforms and a bulk SMS system. Before that I led a Nuxt and Laravel product for a UK team and built a Flutter app for teachers.

I hold a BSc in Software Engineering from UEA Baraton.
