Hey, I'm Peter πŸ‘‹

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.

🌍 Background

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.
