I'm Victor Mwenda. I code under the African sun in Nairobi, Kenya.
At Silicon Savannah's finest tech companies, I craft elegant solutions while occasionally wrestling with power outages that think they're lunch breaks. I specialize in building scalable applications that work even when the internet decides to take a safari. My clients range from local startups to international corporations, and I've mastered the art of explaining technical concepts using metaphors about Kenyan traffic.
My journey through East Africa's tech ecosystem has taught me to turn challenges into opportunities. Whether it's optimizing applications to work on 2G networks or building systems that handle millions of M-PESA transactions, I've learned that every problem is just a solution wearing a disguise.
When I'm not coding, you'll find me mentoring the next generation of African developers, contributing to open-source projects, or debating whether chapati makes a suitable mouse pad (spoiler: it doesn't). I'm passionate about leveraging technology to solve uniquely African challenges and occasionally writing code that's as smooth as a Kenyan marathon runner.
