Hi there, I'm Adrian 👋🏽

Full Stack Developer Technical Writer Open Source Cat Dad

I am a 2nd-year Applied Computer Technology student at the United States International University - Africa (USIU-A). Before joining University, I attended Moringa School which is where I first learned how to code.

I have since had the pleasure of interning as a Full Stack Engineer(Ajua) and a Podcast Editor(HackerNoon). I look forward to joining a software engineering team as a Full-Time Developer.

I would love to be on a team that challenges me by assigning tasks that I am not yet capable of accomplishing to push me further in my career as a developer.

If that happens to be you, I would love to hear from you!

What I've been working on 🛠

I am always looking to upskill and challenge myself.
Here are a few of the projects I have dedicated my time to:

Productlist

I built this application to explore Object Oriented Programming(OOP) and practice Database Normalization. This was after learning Procedural PHP and how to work with Databases.

Many modern web applications today are served from the cloud. Public cloud providers, like Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Microsoft Azure, to name a few, offer service models that enable this trend.

Recommendations ✅

I have interned at two startups, Ajua (managed by Andrew) and HackerNoon (managed by Amy).
Here is what my managers, Andrew and Amy had to say at the end of my respective internships:

Andrew Kamau

Product Manager at Google

Adrian is a talented, results-driven developer. His passion, creativity, and energy make him a solid addition to software engineering teams. He's very thoughtful about identifying problems, crafting and implementing technical solutions; and particularly outstanding at documenting his code.

Amy Tom

Content Strategist for Startups & Tech Companies

Adrian worked on the podcast with me as part of the Hackership program. Not only did he edit the podcast to perfection, he created design templates and added his own creativity to the show. He was very responsive to feedback and encorporated any suggestions I made. I can highly recommend Adrian for his podcast editing and attention to detail.
