About
Who Am I ?
Johnson is a tech-savvy and driven Computer Science graduate passionate about building impactful software solutions. Now stepping confidently into the field of Data Science, he leverages his strong problem-solving foundation to extract insights, build intelligent models, and innovate through data-powered technologies.
Beyond academics and personal projects, he is an avid hackathon enthusiast, having participated in four local hackathons and was proud to win one at the Nairobi County Web3 and Blockchain Hackathon. There, he led the development of a tokenized waste recycling system, combining innovation and social impact.
I started as a self-taught developer, driven by curiosity and determination. After earning a Diploma in Computer Science from Zetech University, I'm now pursuing my Bachelor's at the Catholic University of Eastern Africa, set to graduate in 2027. Through internships at Codsoft and an industrial attachment at Agro Chemical & Food Company Limited (ACFC), I've gained hands-on experience in data science and software development.

Track Record
Power Hacks Hackathon - 4th Runners-Up
October 2024 • First Hackathon Experience
In October 2024, I participated in my first hackathon, the Power Hacks Hackathon, representing SOSTOS Blog. Sponsored by PLP, Safaricom, SpaceYaTech, Payd, and others, we developed an app that verifies statement accuracy. I led full-stack development with HTML, CSS, JS, React Native, and PHP, delivering a user-friendly, secure platform that addressed misinformation. Despite being a first-time hackathon participant, we secured 4th Runners-Up, which fueled my passion for tech innovation.
Blockchain & Web3 Bootcamp - First Runners-Up
April 2025 • $1000 Prize Winner
In April 2025, I took part in a Blockchain and Web3 Bootcamp hosted by MUIAA, Nairobi County Government, and ComputerAid Kenya. We were introduced to Cypherium Blockchain—a next-generation blockchain built for enterprise and CBDC integration. Alongside my teammates Risper, Mitau, and Keziah, we developed BebaPay, a tokenized recycling platform. I was responsible for designing and implementing the smart contract layer. Our innovation earned us First Runners-Up and a $1000 cash prize.
Key Takeaways:
- • Learned to build and deploy smart contracts using Cypherium's blockchain stack
- • Sharpened pitching techniques under pressure with clarity and confidence
