Aspiring Full-Stack
Developer
Building accessible, user-focused web applications · Moringa School · Nairobi, Kenya
👤 Profile
Software engineering student transitioning into full-stack development, currently building hands-on skills in HTML, JavaScript, React, Python, and Flask through Moringa School. I bring a strong foundation in problem-solving, individualized planning, and clear communication from a background in special needs education — skills that translate directly into writing user-focused code, breaking down complex problems, and collaborating effectively within development teams. Eager to apply a detail-oriented, empathetic approach to building reliable, accessible web applications.

A civic-awareness platform keeping Kenyan citizens informed on public service updates and deadlines — scheduled power outages, water supply interruptions, and KRA tax filing deadlines — in one centralized location. Built a full-stack app with a React frontend and Flask backend, structured via REST API for timely, organized data delivery.
Me Too — Interest-Based Social Platform
JavaScript · React (planned) · Flask (planned)
A social platform concept designed to help people build meaningful friendships by connecting users based on shared interests and similarities, rather than surface-level matching. Core features built in JavaScript, with architecture planned to expand into a full-stack application.
