Technology leads, society follows. Crafting immersive and engaging experiences, playing my tiny little part in shaping the future of the web.

About

Back in 2021, I dipped my toes into the world of coding by designing a website for a cozy café in Juja. That first dive led me to a thrilling journey through the vibrant world of web development. Fast forward to today, and I've had the joy of crafting engaging software for a government organization, a start-up, and an Engineering company.

My main focus currently is learning how to build accessible web applications at KamiLimu. I most enjoy building software in the sweet spot where design and engineering meet — things that look good but are also built well under the hood. In my free time, I also indulge in writing stories about life on my blog.

When I’m not at the computer, I’m usually hiking, reading, making the next meal, or in the wild, cycling and collecting stories.
