About Me

I am a web and mobile applications developer, with a diploma in software development and also various credits from various tech companies such as oracle, cisco and Microsoft . Born and lives in Nairobi Kenya. I am a self disciplined programmer skillful in a myriad of programming languages such as C# , C+, Java Php , Ruby , Python and web standard languages such as HTML/Css and java-script .
among this web development frameworks such as laravel, codeignitor , Ruby on rails , Dot net frameworks among others
Being from a humble background and with minimal education i have raised above this standards to establish my self as a worthy candidate in the tech field with hands on experience developing solutions for over three years and counting.

I am astound believer in elevating my self through life experiences with a heads on and hands first approach.

leading to the formation of my start up tech bussiness.

The business has a simple mission to identify and offer solution to daily problems in my community through my experience in software development

My Business

I run a small freelance business , designing solutions for small and mid sized companies
including web design , web development and middle to large mobile applications specifically for android and blackberry platforms.

The bussines has a simple mission to identify and offer solution to daily problems in my coummunity through my experience in software development.

within this mission is also to develop open source technologies for use in the tech world
that are specific to either simplifying or solving specific communal needs.

This is based on an ideology i believe each problem is unique and there requires a unique solution as compared to a one solution solves all problems approach.

for this reason in my business research into understanding a problem is core

Loan Proposal

From my previous loan I was able to acquire a web domain and hosting for my website which i developed my self , over the year it has grown and necessitated to upgrade it.
The website right now is build on my own custom CMS . but however i would like to move it over to wordpress .
Wordpress being an open source application i can install and have the advantage of free grades and security updates released by the core wordpress team.

I will be developing the theme for my website my self but will require additional functionalities to which i will need to purchase premium plugins from http://codecanyon.net/ and also development license from http://www.gravityforms.com/

Hence my pledge for the loan of kenya shillings 4457
Thank you in advance for helping me along my journey to success

    i missed a couple of installments , after i lost my phone due to a robery incident , i was able to get a replacement phone but had issues activating my mpesa account, hence the reason for the delay in payments. so am temporarily reducing the amount by 88 shillings so am able to pay 200 each week for some time as i get abit more stable.

    i also was unable to reach the zidisha team directly to explain my failure in payment
