Software Developer · Security Enthusiast · Technical Writer
Building from the ground up — one project at a time.
I'm a software development apprentice at Zone01 Kisumu, Kenya — a peer-driven, project-based programme where you learn by shipping real things.
I came in with zero prior experience. Now I build backend systems in Go, wrangle APIs, containerize things that shouldn't break, and write about it all publicly. My direction is cybersecurity, cloud security, and AI/ML in security contexts — I'm working toward that intersection deliberately.
When I'm not writing code, I'm writing articles on dev.to or breaking my Linux setup.

| KeepSafe | Personal safety mobile app with real-time features | React Native, Node.js/Express, TypeScript |
| Forum | Full-stack discussion platform with JWT auth | Go, SQLite |
| lem-in | Ant farm pathfinding with max-flow optimization | Go |
| push-swap | Two-stack sorting with BFS optimal solver | Go |
| Vaultly | Password manager with secure auth | Firebase Auth |
| NETWATCH (In progress) | WiFi access manager with admin dashboard | Go, React/Vite |

I write technical articles on dev.to — mostly about things I've actually built, broken, and figured out.
Recent topics include Lightning Network development, Go backend patterns, and building in a peer-learning environment.
