Interests

Apart from being a web developer, I enjoy spending most of my time outdoors. I love exploring the beautiful landscapes of Kenya, whether it's hiking, camping, or simply enjoying nature. I'm also passionate about sports, including handball and running, which keep me active and energized.

When forced indoors, I follow a number of sci-fi and fantasy genre movies and television shows, I am an aspiring chef, and I spend a large amount of my free time exploring the latest technology advancements in the front-end web development world.
