Bridging people, technology, and business outcomes

I'm a tech-driven professional who has built my career at the intersection of technical delivery and human communication. From managing digital literacy programmes reaching 10,000+ students in Kenya, to consultative sales at Accenture in Ottawa — I bring both the technical depth and the business fluency to drive results.

My background spans Windows/macOS/Linux support, Azure and Microsoft 365 environments, React and Node.js development, and project coordination across education, non-profit, and enterprise sectors. I completed a rigorous 9-month full-stack engineering bootcamp at Moringa School (Flatiron curriculum) and hold a BSc in Computer Science from Unicaf University.

What sets me apart is my ability to translate what is technically complex into language that stakeholders actually act on — whether that's a recruiter, a client, an educator, or a developer. That skill, refined across Kenya and Canada, is what drives me in my current Inside Sales role at Accenture.

Technical Adaptability
Comfortable across Windows, macOS, Linux; Azure, SharePoint, Teams, Active Directory, and full-stack web development using React, Node.js, and Git.
Customer Empathy
From helpdesk support to enterprise B2B outreach, I listen first — then craft solutions that speak to what people actually need, not just what they asked for.
International Experience
Worked across Kenya and Canada with government agencies, non-profits, universities, SMBs, and enterprise clients like Accenture and Carleton University.
Fast Learner & Growth Mindset
Completed a full-stack bootcamp while working, pursuing a CS degree, and building freelance projects — consistently delivering in parallel tracks.
