Hey there, my name is Fat-ma — or you can call me Fartun. I'm a full stack web developer who loves building cool things with Ruby on Rails, JavaScript and modern frameworks. I've worked with remote teams across time zones, contributed to open source and helped build apps that people actually use. I enjoy turning messy problems into clean, working solutions.

Tech Exploration

Apart from being a web developer, I enjoy spending most of my time outdoors. I love exploring the beautiful landscapes of Kenya, whether it's hiking, camping, or simply enjoying nature. I'm also passionate about sports, including handball and running, which keep me active and energized.

When forced indoors, I follow a number of sci-fi and fantasy genre movies and television shows, I am an aspiring chef and I spend a large amount of my free time exploring the latest technology advancements in the front-end web development world.
