Hello! I'm Knoph O. Ayieko, a dedicated Full Stack Developer, IT Specialist and Certified Virtual Assistant based in Nairobi & Eldoret, Kenya. My journey in technology is driven by a passion for creating solutions that bridge the gap between innovation and real-world needs.
I hold a BSc in Information Technology from the University of Kabianga and have further honed my skills through the ALX Africa Software Engineering Program. My experiences span developing digital health platforms, managing IT projects and providing virtual assistance to diverse clients.
