Hello, I'm Roy Kiplagat, a full-stack developer with 3 years of experience. I specialize in building user-friendly websites & apps with a focus on solving real-world challenges.
About me
After studying Bsc. Range Management in College, I decided to pursue my passion for programming. I enrolled in a coding bootcamp and learned full-stack web development. My favorite part of programming is the problem-solving aspect. There's nothing quite like the feeling moment when a solution clicks into place. My core stack is React, Next.js, Node.js, MongoDB, Django, FastAPI, and MySQL. I am also familiar with TypeScript and Prisma. Always eager to expand my skill set, I am actively exploring new technologies. Currently, I'm on the lookout for a full-time position as a software developer.
When I'm not coding, I enjoy playing video games, watching movies, and mountain biking. I also enjoy learning new things. I am currently learning about history and philosophy. I'm also learning how to to speak German.
