Zachary Gakuo

I am a software developer with a year of experience in product design and a year of experience in full stack development across multiple languages and frameworks.

The frameworks I have used to build web applications include: React, Nextjs, Django and Quarkus.

Problem solving is my passion. I feel most rewarded when I can see my work making an impact in society or improving people's work and lives.
