About Me

Hi, I'm John Mwendwa

I'm a freelance Full Stack Web Developer with a passion to create responsive, accessible and inclusive websites using the newest cutting-edge tech.

I always wanted to pursue finance as my career path, and yes I enrolled to the university and pursued a Bachelor's Degree in B.Com (Finance Option). In the midst of this pursuit, I however became more curious with what my friends from other fields were being taught and somehow without intending to, I fell in love with web development.

So I'm mostly self-taught and my guide and teacher happens to be my curiosity to learn and explore.

Hobbies

Whenever I'm not coding, I tend to engage myself in activties that build me up. Some of these activities include but not limited to the following :

Skating : To tell you the truth, I love skating. It's one of those things I can hardly let a day pass by without even taking atleast a 5 minutes ride around my neighborhood.

Travelling : If you're not a kenyan, you wouldn't understand my obsession with travelling, especially outside the city. As a nation, we've been endowed with great sites that are just breath-taking.

Cooking : I'm not a great fan of fast foods and I believe they should be taken once in a while and so I have learned to cook my dishes and boy ooh boy do I love their taste. Well, I know not everyone finds my dishes as tasty as I do, but need I remind them the opinion of my stomach and only my stomach concerning this matter supersedes all 😎.

Movies : I'm also a big fan of movies and series. As I was growing up, my obsession with them always got me into trouble with my school teachers, but that's a story for another day.
