Daniel N.

Hello! Daniel is a full-stack software developer and is passionate about mobile and web development. In the 2018 summer, Daniel applied for MIT Global Startup Lab(MIT GSL) and was selected. MIT Global Startup Lab is an intensive boot camp where students work in teams to develop and ultimately launch a startup business. The courses were divided into two parts, the technical part which was mainly building a full-stack app with the use of Meteor and React js, as well as the business part which focused on entrepreneurship concepts that can help someone start his own business. His team managed to come up with an idea of making job searching easier and build an app for it After the MIT GSL Bootcamp, He applied for the Andela Fellowship program. To get selected, He was required to build a full-stack project within a period of a month. Andela provided a project called SendIt( a platform to send parcels in a different location). Daniel built Back-end with Node/Express and Front-end with Vanilla Javascript, HTML, and CSS. Daniel got an opportunity to sharpen his programming skills when he joined Andela with what Andela calls Simulation program. This was a 4 months full-stack project called Author’s haven, a project to facilitate people to write articles of any length. They used Node/Express for back-end and React/Redux for front-end After the simulation program, Daniel worked for Tulaa as a front-end angular engineer for a period of 3 months. Tulaa is a startup company based in Kenya. Its idea is to help farmers access agricultural inputs easier and faster by the use of mobile technology. His main contribution at Tulaa involved refactoring the codebase and re-implementing features to improve user experience. Daniel also enjoyed working with a diverse team, Tulaa had engineers from Kenya, Uganda, Nigeria, and Rwanda. Right after working at Tulaa, Daniel participated in 2019 Developer Circles from the Facebook community challenge hackathon and meet Elvis with whom they formed a team. Their submission is a mental calculation game for kids that is called RockIt. This game is built with Html5 and Vanilla Javascript. Their goal is not just for the hackathon but they want to publish this game to Facebook instant games. When Daniel is not coding he enjoys watching movies and playing guitar
