I’m Jerome Kithinji, a Full Stack Developer with 3+ years of experience building web applications across the banking, telecommunications, and service sectors in Europe and Africa. I recently completed my Master’s degree in Software Engineering, and I’m passionate about the intersection of technology and design, from software engineering to UI/UX. I’m especially interested in how AI, HCI, and emerging technologies can be used to create intuitive, user-centered products, and I stay up to date with new tools and trends to incorporate them into both my workflow and the solutions I build. I enjoy learning quickly, collaborating in agile teams, and delivering efficient, scalable end-to-end solutions from concept to production across web and cloud platforms.
