Roots, Faith, and Early Discoveries in Eldoret
I was born in the heart of Uasin Gishu County, a region known for its agricultural richness and vibrant communities. This is where my story began, surrounded by family values and community spirit.
Eldoret became my home - a city that breeds champions. The discipline and resilience I observed in world-class athletes here shaped my understanding of hard work, determination, and excellence.
Raised in a Christian family, faith was the bedrock of our home. My parents instilled values of integrity, service, humility, and trusting in God's plan - principles that continue to guide my life and decisions.
My parents believed in teaching responsibility early. From household chores to looking after siblings, I learned that true leadership begins with service and accountability.
At Sugoi Primary School, I was appointed as a prefect. This was my first formal leadership role, teaching me about responsibility, fairness, serving others, and making difficult decisions.
My first encounter with a piano at church sparked a lifelong love for music. I was fascinated by how different notes created beautiful harmony - an early lesson in systems thinking.
The first time I used a computer at a cyber cafe opened a world of possibilities. From typing documents to simple games, I was hooked on technology's potential.
I loved drawing scenes from my imagination. This creative outlet taught me patience, attention to detail, and visualization - skills that would later help in UI/UX design.
Currently expanding my musical skills by learning guitar. It's challenging but rewarding, much like coding - both require practice, persistence, and pattern recognition.
My parents taught that character matters more than achievement. Doing the right thing, even when no one is watching, builds trust and respect.
Growing up in Eldoret showed me the power of community. We celebrated together, supported during challenges, and grew through shared experiences.
A personal relationship with God became my anchor. This faith continues to guide my decisions, aspirations, and perspective on life's purpose.
Always asking "why" and "how." This innate curiosity about how things work led me naturally to technology, engineering, and problem-solving.
The values, experiences, and lessons from my childhood in Eldoret continue to influence who I am today. The discipline from early responsibilities translates to project management skills. The community values inform my approach to teamwork. The faith foundation provides purpose in my work. And the early curiosity drives my passion for technology innovation.
Every line of code I write, every project I build, and every goal I pursue is rooted in these childhood foundations. They remind me that technology is not just about systems and code, but about people, community, and making a positive difference in the world.
