About Me
Hey there!, I’m Odera, your friendly neighborhood coding enthusiast with a knack for all things tech! From dabbling in front-end wizardry to diving deep into the backend with languages like Java, C++, and Python, I’ve tinkered my way through various projects—both professional and passion-driven. My journey isn’t just about pixels and code ; I’ve also dipped my toes into cybersecurity (watch out, hackers! ) and embraced Linux like an old friend , feeling right at home with Kali tools.
Currently, I’m riding the machine learning wave like a pro surfer on a coding swell. Graduating soon with a Bachelor’s in Computer Information from Kenya Methodist University, I’m also moonlighting as the founder of Heptabyte Software. I’ve juggled entrepreneurship , wrangled network systems as an assistant administrator , and shared my wisdom as a peer lecturer , balancing work and play like a tightrope walker juggling flaming torches (metaphorically speaking, of course ). When I'm not debugging or designing algorithms , you’ll find me crafting fiction, exploring nature's wonders , or teaching dogs new tricks—yes, I'm practically a certified pet whisperer now!
I’m excited to connect with fellow tech enthusiasts, potential collaborators, or anyone in need of some coding magic . Whether you need a fresh perspective on a project, a reliable hire, or a tutor who makes learning as fun as it is informative, I’m just a message away. Let's turn your tech dreams into reality, one line of code at a time!
