ABOUT ME
I am a versatile professional with a strong foundation in security, risk management, web development, and digital innovation. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Security Studies and Criminology from Mount Kenya University, along with certifications in Security Risk Management (SRMP-C, SRMP-R) and Software Engineering. This unique combination allows me to bridge the gap between security and technology in meaningful ways.
My professional journey has taken me from law enforcement, where I worked as an Apprentice at Kabete Police Station, to the fast-paced world of tech. I currently serve as the Web Development and Digital Innovations Lead at Pinch Africa, where I oversee the design and development of websites, AI-powered solutions, and CRM-integrated systems for a wide range of clients.
I’m highly skilled in web design, CMS platforms like WordPress, and the implementation of automation and AI tools that streamline operations and improve user experiences. I’ve led teams, mentored junior developers, and delivered high-impact digital solutions across industries including real estate, e-commerce, travel, and NGOs.
Driven by curiosity and purpose, I’m passionate about helping businesses and organizations operate securely, efficiently, and intelligently through code, strategy, and innovation.
