SOFTWARE ENGINEERING × NETWORK OPERATIONS
From the service deskto the network edgeto the application layerI think in systems.
01A little about me
Technology is at its best
when it works for people.
A computer scientist with a hands-on IT background and a practical instinct for making systems work better.
I’m Collins, a software developer, network engineer and IT professional based in Nairobi, Kenya.
My experience spans software development, network engineering, systems administration, technical support, IT infrastructure and cybersecurity fundamentals. I’ve also worked with data analytics, database development, cloud technologies and IT operations.
From helping users stay productive to building applications that make information useful, I like getting to the root of a problem and building a solution that holds up. I’m especially interested in scalable systems and solving business problems through technology.
Curious by nature. Practical by design.

WHAT I BRINGTECHNICAL RANGE / BUSINESS CONTEXT
02
Network engineering
Practical network setup, device configuration and troubleshooting across wired and wireless environments.
03
Technical support
Patient, structured problem solving that gets users and their systems back to work.
04
Systems administration
Endpoint deployment, account management, Microsoft 365 and day-to-day systems care.
05
IT infrastructure
Reliable foundations across hardware, connectivity, operations and service delivery.
06
Data & analytics
Turning operational and financial information into useful metrics, reporting and insight.
02Selected work
Built to solve real problems.
A couple of projects that bring application development, data and infrastructure together.
ILLUSTRATIVE UI / MOCK DATA
01 — PERSONAL FINANCE FEATURED PROJECT
NeuroBudget
A personal finance platform designed to make spending patterns easier to understand—and financial decisions more informed.
THE BUILD
FastAPI and SQLAlchemy power the API and data layer; a responsive HTML, CSS and JavaScript interface presents the financial picture through clear metrics and charts.
WHAT IT DOES
JWT sign-in, income and expense tracking, monthly summaries, savings and financial-health metrics, with README-documented anomaly analysis and AI advice.
The README outlines Z-score spending anomaly detection and a GPT-4o mini advisor with multi-session chat; the repository’s current API entry point wires authentication, income and expense routes. README next steps include forecasting, Open Banking, downloadable reports and mobile access.

02 — NETWORK OPERATIONS FEATURED PROJECT
Network Monitoring
An operations dashboard that turns device health checks into a live view of availability, latency and network alerts.
THE BUILD
A modular FastAPI application separates routers, services, models and background monitoring, backed by SQLAlchemy and SQLite with PostgreSQL-ready Docker deployment.
WHAT IT DOES
Ping checks run every 30 seconds, track latency and packet loss, and raise alerts for offline devices, packet loss above 20% or latency over 300 ms.
Admin and viewer roles, historical monitoring records, CSV/PDF reports and a tested device-management API round out the monitoring workflow. Potential next steps include configurable thresholds, notification integrations and distributed polling.
