I'm a Full-Stack JavaScript Engineer based in Kenya, building at the intersection of health systems, data, and the web.
By day I work in health information management at Kangema Sub-County Hospital β running HMIS systems, IT infrastructure, and financial reporting for a real public health facility. By night I'm deepening my engineering skills to build tools that actually matter in African healthcare and beyond.

- π’ Building a daily GitHub commit habit β 90 days straight
- π΅ Going fullstack: Node/Express β PostgreSQL β React β Deploy
- π‘ Learning C on the side β memory, pointers, systems thinking
- π΄ Shipping 3 real projects by October 2026
I work in the IT department at a public health facility in Kenya β handling systems maintenance, hardware support, and keeping critical health infrastructure running day to day.
That environment shapes what I build. I understand what breaks in the real world and why reliable, practical tools matter more than flashy ones.
