About Me

I'm a Kenya-based creator and engineer who blends storytelling with security-first engineering. I started out cutting videos, got hooked on how systems work, and now build and protect software for clients and teams.

I care about clean, reliable work and clear communication. Whether it's a brand film, a security audit or a backend API, I focus on results you can measure.
