About Me

Hi I am Brandon Odhiambo Wamboga :wave:,

A Tech Enthusiast who is passionate about writing software that solves problems in a creative way. I have always harbored a passion for technology, a trait that is reflected in my academic and professional journey.

As a current student at ALX Africa, I am enrolled in a rigorous 12-month program in Software Engineering that has deepened my passion for writing software that creatively solves problems. Additionally, I am pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology at Maseno University, a prestigious institution in Kisumu, Kenya.

My love for technology extends beyond the classrooms; I have participated in Software Development Hackathon challenges and developed effective solutions, like a missing children search tool, which is currently being incubated into the Children Protection Information Management System (CPIMS).

I had the privilege of participating in the CA Cyber Security Bootcamp and Hackathon Series 2023, Kisumu edition. During this event, we successfully overcame various challenges, effectively demonstrating our prowess in the field of cybersecurity, while also fostering a spirit of innovation. Learn More

One of my key strengths is my ability to lead and inspire others. I am often appointed as a leader in various gatherings due to my willingness to help guide and support others. I believe that a true leader is someone who leads by example, and I strive to embody this philosophy in all aspects of my life.

My everyday motivation is to never quit, no matter how difficult a challenge may seem. Instead, I believe in taking a step back, resting, and then returning with renewed focus and determination.

I am confident that my passion for software engineering, leadership skills, and unwavering determination make me a valuable asset to any team.

CAREER OBJECTIVE

Seeking a challenging and rewarding position as a software developer and make meaningful contributions in the Information Technology field. I have a passion for creating innovative and userfriendly solutions using my skills in programming and software development. I enjoy working collaboratively as well as independently and I am eager to learn from experienced professionals in the field.
