About Me

Daryn Ongera Daryn Ongera

Software Engineer and Computer Science Enthusiast

I am a Computer Science graduand from Strathmore University with a focus on cybersecurity, distributed systems, software development, and AI/ML. A Backend oriented dev and passionate learner, always eager to expand my base knowledge and sharpen my skills.

Outside of tech, I'm an avid sportsman. Primeagen fan and a proud wannabe neovim user. I will occasionally mention that I use linux, because why not?

My defining characteristic is grit, complemented with an intense curiosity and ability to navigate different domains and tech stacks.
