How it all began
I first had access to a computer at age 6. At that time it was a huge Dell laptop and all I could do with it was play Pacman or learn to type. In the midst of all that was my new found love. Ever since I have always been fascinated by computers, actually anything technology. My first website however, came as a school project. I had so much fun designing it, I decided to try my hand at freelance.
Thus far I have come
I am a 20 year old PHP Web Developer based in the lovely city of Nairobi, Kenya. As a freelance with a year’s experience, I develop websites and web applications that run on PHP, blogs, e-commerce systems, content management systems and blogs.
In addition to that, am the co-founder of Engage Media Labs, a web development agency I started with my cousin Stephen Gacheru (a talented front-end web designer) primarily to try and uplift web development standards in my home country, Kenya.
My Education
I am a student pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree in Computing and Information Systems from the University of London via their well known online learning programme. I love the e-learning study mode as it enables be to study while at the same time developing my career as a web developer.
The future awaits…
My main goal is to help uphold and improve web standards to the best of my ability while establishing myself as a web developer of international repute.
Now to the fun stuff… When am not coding or studying, you can find me hanging out with my friend making barbecues and just having fun. Or doing one of the thing I love most, PC Gaming. We usually hold gaming sessions and competitions to frag away and take the edge off.
