Christopher Njihia

Full-Stack Developer currently on industrial attachment at the Ministry of Foreign and Diaspora Affairs, Kenya, where I am gaining hands-on public sector experience. I am pursuing a BSc in Software Engineering at USIU-Africa and simultaneously completing a Back-End Web Pro-Development Certificate with ALX Africa.

My technical foundation covers Python, Java, and JavaScript on the backend, with React.js on the frontend, and frameworks including Spring Boot, Node.js, and Django. I work with MySQL, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB, and I am certified in blockchain development through The Hashgraph Association — covering Smart Contracts, DApps, and Hedera architecture.

Since 2023 I have freelanced as a web developer, building responsive web applications and secure APIs for small businesses. I am actively seeking opportunities to contribute to scalable, real-world software projects.
