I’m an IT professional dedicated to using technology to save lives and combat cancer. Inspired
by Abraham Lincoln’s belief that "The best way to predict the future is to create it," I focus on
developing innovative cancer detection solutions to prevent unnecessary loss. Passionate about
leveraging cutting-edge technologies, I aim to make a lasting impact and am excited to
collaborate with forward-thinking teams.

As an aspiring Cloud Support Engineer, I bring a passion for innovation and a proven ability to solve complex technical challenges. My experience includes working as a Software Support Engineer at the National Irrigation Authority of Kenya, where I optimized system performance and honed my skills in troubleshooting and resource management.

I specialize in AWS Cloud Services, networking, and automation using scripting languages like Python, Shell, and Ruby. My expertise spans Windows and Linux environments, SQL/NoSQL databases, and designing solutions that seamlessly integrate with evolving technologies.

Beyond my role, I’ve spearheaded projects that blend creativity with technical depth:

• AI-powered lung cancer detection system
• Flight ticket booking platform integrating Amadeus and Daraja APIs
• A real-time mobile chatting app
• A 3D interactive game built with Three.js
