BRIAN AMBUNDO

"Hello! I'm Brian Ambundo, a passionate and highly motivated software engineer with a strong background in electrical and electronics engineering. I thrive in creating innovative solutions and leveraging cutting-edge technologies to solve complex problems.

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from Kenyatta University, as well as a Software Engineering certificate from Moringa School. My educational background has equipped me with a solid foundation in programming, data analysis, and research methodologies.

As a programmer, I have expertise in JavaScript, React, Linux, HTML, CSS, Rails, Ruby on Rails, and Python. I have also honed my skills in data analysis using SQL and Pandas. I enjoy the process of website development, whether it's designing captivating websites using WordPress or coding them from scratch using the React framework. Additionally, I have a keen interest in web scraping and automation, utilizing technologies like Scrapy.

My enthusiasm for artificial intelligence has led me to pursue further knowledge in this field, including undertaking courses on Coursera. I am constantly intrigued by the possibilities AI brings and the impact it can have on various industries.

In terms of experience, I have worked on freelance projects through platforms like Upwork, specializing in web scraping, web automation, and WordPress. I have also gained valuable industry exposure as an electrical engineering intern at the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority, where I conducted inspections to ensure compliance with electrical installation standards.

During my internship at Associated Batteries Manufacturers, I received hands-on training in electrical maintenance, motor connections, and control systems.

One of my notable projects is the Vertical Aeroponics System, where I successfully built a sophisticated system incorporating an Arduino microcontroller, sensors, and cloud connectivity to optimize plant growth and monitoring.

Additionally, I collaborated with a team to develop an online charity management system called RaiseIt, aimed at streamlining fund collection for the less fortunate.

I am excited to take on new challenges and contribute my technical skills, creative problem-solving abilities, and strong project management acumen to a dynamic organization. I am actively seeking opportunities to work on meaningful projects that push the boundaries of innovation.

Please feel free to  connect with me on LinkedIn at Katiechi. I look forward to exploring potential collaborations and discussing how my expertise can be of value to your team or organization."
