My Development Journey

I started learning about computers and programming at Bugema University where I studied Software Engineering. I graduated with a GPA of 4.62 and learned how to build websites and applications using different programming languages and tools.

During my internship at Jarlso Telecom Solutions, I worked on real projects using PHP and MySQL. This gave me experience building systems that companies actually use. I also learned that combining technical skills with good design makes everything work better.

I believe technology should solve real problems and make life easier. Whether I'm building a website with React or creating graphics for a church event, I always focus on making things that people can easily understand and use.
