About
Who i Am
Hi there👋, I'm Louis Muriuki Hugo I'm a software developer based in Nairobi, Kenya, with five years of experience delivering production-ready code. My expertise lies in the Mobile and Web ecosystem, where I build mobile applications using Kotlin and React Native/Expo, develop web applications with React and Next.js, and set up backend services with Node.js.
Beyond the norm, I've been exploring Rust and can build practical applications with it. I'm well-versed in deploying applications, whether through CI/CD pipelines, configuring bare-metal servers with Nginx, managing EC2 instances, or containerizing services with Docker. With a strong foundation in both individual and collaborative work, I thrive in fast-paced environments, solving complex problems and shipping high-quality software. Let’s build the future!
