What I've built

Projects

Responsive Web Design
Survey Form

A fully responsive cybersecurity awareness survey covering password practices, MFA, threat awareness, and device security. Features range sliders, checkboxes, radio buttons, dropdowns, and a textarea — built with pure HTML and CSS.

Responsive Web Design
Tribute Page

A responsive tribute page honouring Charlie Kirk (1993–2025), conservative activist and founder of Turning Point USA. Features a dark theme, grayscale portrait, structured timeline, styled blockquote, and smooth hover interactions — built with semantic HTML5 and a separate CSS stylesheet.

Responsive Web Design
Technical Documentation Page

A multi-section documentation page with fixed sidebar navigation and fully responsive layout.

Responsive Web Design
Product Landing Page

A responsive product landing page — hero, features, pricing, and a contact form. A template clients regularly request on Fiverr.

JavaScript
Palindrome Checker

Checks whether a given string is a palindrome — handling punctuation, spaces, and case sensitivity with JS logic.

JavaScript
Roman Numeral Converter

Converts any number to its Roman numeral representation using JavaScript string and number logic.

JavaScript
Cash Register

Calculates change due and determines whether a cash register has enough change — a classic algorithm project.

Python
Arithmetic Formatter

Formats arithmetic problems vertically and side-by-side. Demonstrates string manipulation and conditional logic in Python.

Python
Budget App

OOP-based budget tracker with categories, deposits, withdrawals, transfers, and a spending chart output.

Python
Probability Calculator

Monte Carlo simulation to determine the probability of drawing certain ball combinations from a hat.

React
Random Quote Machine

Fetches and displays random quotes from an API with a tweet button and animated transitions between quotes.

React
Markdown Previewer

Real-time Markdown editor and previewer — type on the left, see formatted HTML output on the right, live.

Back End & APIs
Timestamp Microservice

A Node.js/Express API that parses natural language dates and returns structured Unix and UTC timestamps.

Back End & APIs
URL Shortener Microservice

POST a URL and receive a short code. Visiting the code redirects to the original URL — backed by MongoDB.


Who I am

About Me

I'm a self-taught developer based in Nairobi, Kenya, working through the complete FreeCodeCamp Full Stack curriculum. My goal is to build real, useful software — and land my first freelance clients through Upwork and Fiverr in the process.

The curriculum covers six tracks: Responsive Web Design, JavaScript Algorithms, Front-End Libraries (React), Back-End Development and APIs, Relational Databases, and Scientific Computing with Python. Every project in this portfolio comes from that curriculum — real working code, pushed to GitHub.

I'm currently available for small to medium freelance projects — particularly landing pages, Python automation scripts, web app components, and data tasks. I work remotely and communicate clearly throughout every project.

I believe the best way to grow as a developer is to build things for real people. If you have a project in mind, I'd love to hear about it.
