About

I write R for fun & profit.

Software Developer

I started programming in my second year at the University of Nairobi. R was my first programming language. I picked it up for a statistics class, and it just clicked. I found it elegant and beautiful. I ended up switching my career from Actuarial Science to Software Development. Later, I took a look at other languages and realized R was... quirky. This only fueled my interest in R, and at this point I think we're bound to each other.

  • Hobbies:Farming, Generative Art
  • Degree:Actuarial Science (UoN)

These days I mostly build backends, data applications, and internal tools: APIs, dashboards, automations, and the boring glue that keeps products running.
