Creative developer and a professional amateur in the world of endurance sport

Hi, my name is Steve and I'm a software engineer by trade. I didn't grow up around computers. In fact, I built my first website a few years ago—a site for a local cafe that took me three days locked in my room following an HTML & CSS tutorial. I remember its centerpiece was a massive"Let's meat" headline that I thought was genius at the time. I haven't touched that site since but I have created better and fun websites (like this one) ever since.

I used to run a lot. If it involves a start, an end and a humbling journey to get from one to the other then I’m probably passionate about it; I cycle relatively long distances. I can squat twice your weight. I love solo hikes. All this goes to say that I have a questionable relationship with discomfort, which I've come to terms with. Invite me for a session!

I'm a Christian. My faith shapes how I think about time, work, people, and what it means to do anything well.

I have a playlist called Mimi ni Mhindie because I listen to Indie. I enjoy playing Kenya @50, cracks me up to see the different perceptions people have of the items they're describing.

Simply put: I am a guy in Kenya interested in creative stuff. In late 2025, we tossed around the idea of starting a software company. Fast-forward and we are building products at Origin HQ and learning a ton.

One of my goals in 2026 is to simplify my defaults and build from first principles as I broaden my skillset.
