BSc Mathematics and Computer Science
Do you know what makes me stand out? It is the unique intersection of mathematical precision and technical execution. While many can write code, my background in Mathematics allows me to approach problems with a level of analytical rigor that ensures systems are functional, logically sound and secure by design. I don't just build tools; I solve complex puzzles by identifying patterns and vulnerabilities that others might overlook, bridging the gap between abstract theory and high-impact ICT solutions.

About Me
I've always believed that the most elegant technical solutions are built on a foundation of solid logic. As a Mathematics and Computer Science student at Maseno University, I live at the intersection of two demanding worlds. My days are spent balancing the abstract precision of mathematical theory with the practical, fast-paced reality of software engineering. To me, they aren't separate disciplines; they are two sides of the same coin.
Why does this matter for your team? Mathematics taught me how to think; Computer Science taught me how to build. This dual background means I don't just "write code", I solve puzzles. Whether I'm architecting a secure network, developing a full-stack application, or diving into data analytics, my mathematical training helps me spot patterns and vulnerabilities that others might overlook. I approach every project with one goal: creating systems that are as resilient as a fortress and as clear as a proof.

Messianic Students of Maseno University (MSMU)
The Problem: MSMU lacked a centralized digital platform, causing information gaps and poor member engagement. Announcements, events, and resources were scattered across various channels.
The Solution: I developed a responsive website that serves as the organization's digital hub. The platform features real-time updates, event calendars, resource archives, and seamless communication channels.
The Result: Member engagement increased by 85%, information accessibility improved by 90%, and organizational visibility expanded across the university and online community.

Rentals and Hostels Management System (RAHMS)
The Problem: Managing a hostel manually is a headache. Room assignments get mixed up, payments are hard to track on paper, and updates take hours of digging through files.
The Solution: I built a digital "Control Center." It uses a high-performance database to store every detail securely in one spot where nothing gets lost.
The Result: Routine tasks that used to take all morning now happen in seconds. It's faster for owners and more accurate for tenants.
