About me

Mama Called me Mugendi (which means traveler), and this journey is just starting!

I'm Creative Web Developer and UI/UX Designer from Nairobi, Kenya, working in web development and print media. I enjoy turning complex problems into simple, beautiful and intuitive designs.

As a back end developer, I have a great passion for tackling difficult programming challenges and finding creative solutions. Many years of experience, as well as my ability to work efficiently with databases, make me well-equipped to handle even the most difficult that comes my way, I never stop till we have a solution 🤗. In my past experiences, I have consistently delivered high-quality, reliable code, even under tight deadlines.

In addition to my love for programming, I also have a strong interest in Big Data and Analytics. I enjoy working with large datasets and I am constantly seeking out new tools and techniques to improve my data processing abilities. Whether it's working with real-time streams or analyzing historical records, I am always eager to dive into a new data problem and uncover valuable insights.

    Web Development

    I mostly write my code in NodeJS and I am most comfortable as a back-end developer. However, I am equally good at UI/UX Design although I prefer to work on back ends.

    My best moments are when I am solving problems, especially those that involve some form of programming! Nothing gives me a bigger thrill than when I create a solution that did not exist, and the challenge is not only solved but the client/customer is happy too. I cannot imagine a different life and if one exists, I am not interested.
