About me

I'm currently pursuing my BSc. in Software Engineering at United States International University (USIU) while gaining hands-on experience in the tech industry. Over the past 3+ years, I've worked with companies like WebTech Solutions Limited, Ivy Community, Girwa Foundation, and HNG Tech, developing everything from production SaaS platforms to AI-powered applications.

As an award-winning hackathon participant, I thrive in collaborative environments where I can solve complex problems using modern technologies. My expertise spans the full development stack, with particular interests in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and creating delightful user experiences.
