About: Software engineer and UI/UX designer based in Nairobi, Kenya. I build web applications, backend systems, REST APIs, and user interfaces, with a focus on solving real problems without overcomplicating the solution. I enjoy working across both engineering and design, from database and API architecture to wireframes and polished interfaces. I'm particularly interested in product development, backend engineering, and building practical digital products for African markets.
