SENIOR SOFTWARE ENGINEER
Nairobi, Kenya
I am a senior software engineer with over six years of professional experience specializing in Laravel, Vue.js, Flutter, Python, and Rust development. Based in Nairobi, Kenya, I have built my career on creating secure, scalable applications that solve real-world business challenges.
My journey in software development began with a fascination for how technology can transform business operations. Over the years, I've honed my skills in modular and object-oriented programming, becoming particularly proficient in the Laravel PHP framework and Vue.js JavaScript framework. This combination allows me to architect robust full-stack applications with elegant front-end interfaces powered by efficient back-end systems.
Beyond web development, I've expanded my expertise into mobile application development using Flutter, enabling me to create cross-platform solutions that work seamlessly across iOS and Android devices. My current learning focus includes Rust for systems programming and Python for data-intensive applications, as I believe in continuously expanding my technical toolkit.
What sets me apart is my ability to understand business needs and translate them into technical solutions. I've successfully engineered customized secure systems that have improved business processes, operations, and profitability for my clients. My approach combines technical excellence with practical business acumen.
Colleagues describe me as a self-motivated team player with strong communication skills and the ability to work under minimal supervision. I thrive in collaborative environments but can also take ownership of projects independently when needed. My versatility allows me to adapt to various project requirements and technology stacks.
