About me

I'm a passionate Software Engineer based in Nairobi, Kenya, specialized in building robust and performance-optimized full-stack applications. I enjoy turning complex problems into clean, reliable systems — with a particular focus on REST API design, data pipelines, and cloud-based solutions.

I currently work as a Software Engineer at Verb Education, where I build secure, performance-optimized APIs for an education platform used by teachers, and as a Content Developer at Clio, focused on document parsing and web crawling. Outside of work, I'm continually exploring DevOps, cloud computing, and software architecture.
