Hi, I'm Christopher

About Me

I am a dedicated third-year Computer Science student at Ontario Tech University with a strong passion for software development, problem-solving, and contributing to the ever-evolving tech landscape...

Who I Am

I am a 20-year-old African American raised in Ontario, Canada. My parents, both from Kenya, have been a source of inspiration through their hard work and dedication. I have one sibling, and I’ve always had a strong curiosity for technology and coding.

My Journey

My journey in coding began in grade 9, and over the years, I have honed my skills through hands-on projects and creative development work. With experience in Java, Python, and C++, I have built a variety of projects using Pygame, exploring both software design and implementation. I am eager to continue expanding my technical expertise and apply my skills in professional settings to develop scalable, innovative solutions that make a meaningful impact.

Hobbies & Interests

Outside of coding, I enjoy working on personal programming projects, contributing to group activities, and helping friends with technical challenges. I regularly practice problem-solving on LeetCode and, as of August 2025, I am progressing through the Google Cybersecurity Certificate. In my free time, I enjoy watching shows and anime, playing video games, and going for walks.
