Walter R.

Building at the intersection of code and design. Coming from communications and digital marketing, I'm making my way into software engineering — focused on the web, the interface, and eventually, the interaction itself.

01 / About

Background

I'm a Nairobi-based software engineer in the making — transitioning from over six years in communications and digital marketing into a career built on craft, logic, and design thinking.

My path has given me an unusual perspective: I understand audiences before I write code for them. That shapes how I build — with purpose, clarity, and attention to experience.

Right now I'm deep in the MERN and MEAN stacks, Django, and UI/UX through Figma. Long-term aim: Interactions & Design Engineering — the discipline at the edge of software, interface, and human behaviour.
