Hi, I'm

Humphrey Mugambi

I'm a software engineer based in Kenya with 6+ years of experience building and maintaining products across JavaScript, Java, Python, and PHP — from Spring Boot and React, to Django, Laravel, and Vue. I've led small teams, mentored junior developers, and taken products from architecture through deployment on AWS and Linux VPS servers. Alongside client work, I teach AI courses and write up my opinions on the blog.
