Software Engineer & Economics Graduate

Logic
Meets Code.

I turn data into helpful insights and decisions. My background in B.Econ & Finance from Kenyatta University (2021-2025) provides me with a unique lens for technical problem-solving, specializing in IT for economics and research ethics.

My journey into programming began in 2021 with rigorous self-study, mastering JavaScript by 2022 and transitioning into Python for Data Analysis in 2023. In 2024, I joined the ALX Software Engineering track via Holberton School, a program focused on technical excellence for women in Africa.

As a Developer Consultant at EGA Tech Ltd, I build responsive web applications and backend APIs using Node.js and MySQL, collaborating directly with clients to troubleshoot JavaScript UX and implement robust features.
