About Me
I'm a CS student with a strong interest in software engineering, based in Tanzania. I like building things that actually work and solving problems that matter.
I've spent the past 2+ years working on backend projects using Django and Flask, building APIs, connecting payment systems like Stripe, PayPal, Pesapal, and DPO, and working with MySQL and PostgreSQL databases.
I enjoy contributing to open-source projects and I keep learning new things on my own, especially around AI/ML and cybersecurity.
My Quotes
How I think about building software.
"A meeting might tell me why it works, but a system crash tells me exactly how it fails; I don't build software to talk about the rules—I break them to see the truth in the rubble."
"Don't tell me what will happen when it breaks; let me break it and watch the logs tell the story."
"If a meeting lasts longer than a build, I've already lost the context. Let me find the edge cases by jumping off the cliff."
"True understanding isn't found in a specification document; it's found in the wreckage of a failed deployment."
My Machines
The real MVPs behind the code.
The Road Warrior
Dell Latitude
This trusty Dell Latitude is my go-to machine for working on the move. Running Kali Linux as my daily driver -- yes, I like to live dangerously. Armed with 8GB of RAM and a good old HDD (because who needs speed when you have patience, right?). It's been through late-night coding sessions, countless Django migrations, and it still hasn't given up on me. Respect.
The Powerhouse
Dell OptiPlex 5050 SFF
The desktop beast -- a Dell OptiPlex 5050 SFF rocking an Intel Core i5-6500 (6th Gen). This is where the serious work happens. Running Linux Mint (because after using Kali all day on the laptop, sometimes you just want things to... work normally). It handles my database servers, AI model training experiments, and the occasional 47 browser tabs with zero complaints. A true workhorse that proves you don't need the latest hardware to ship great code.
