About Me

Kipchrchir

Hey there! I'm Meshack Kipchirchir

Think of me as your friendly neighbourhood tech enthusiast, turning caffeine into code and complex problems into elegant solutions. I thrive on diving into the worlds of cloud computing, software development, and networking – basically, making technology do cool things!

Armed with a Computer Science degree from KCA University (Class of '23!), AWS & Cisco certs, and real-world experience from helpdesks to network setups, I've been busy translating theory into practice. My journey has taken me through the IT landscapes of Moi University and Reale Hospital.

Lately, I'm buzzing about cloud tech and crafting smooth user experiences with React & Node.js. My mission? To build robust, innovative solutions that make a real difference. Check out my projects below, and if you think we could create something awesome together, let's chat

My Projects

Washlytics | Making Car Washes Sparkle (Digitally!)

Challenge: Car washes juggling appointments and customer info manually. Solution: Washlytics! I built this full-stack system using Next.js & TypeScript (frontend magic by TailwindCSS & Framer Motion!) and a robust backend (Supabase & REST APIs) to automate bookings, track customers, and streamline the whole operation. Result: Less paperwork, happier managers!
