Hello! I'm a 20-year-old software engineer based in Nairobi, Kenya. I build backend systems with Python — Django, Flask, and DRF — and reach for React and TypeScript when the backend needs a face.
Outside of web development, I write about what I'm building and learning on Medium. When I'm not coding: guitar, the gym, and the occasional rabbit hole into mathematics.
I'm always looking for interesting projects and people to collaborate with. Check out my repositories — if something catches your eye or you think I'd be a good fit for what you're working on, reach out.
