About me

My friends used to call me the Explorer — not because I went to many places, but because I was always trying new things. I liked testing things, asking many questions, and that same curiosity led me to discover open source, where I get to learn, build, and help others every day.

During the Outreachy 2025 contribution phase, I went from being an open-source hopeful to pushing real commits, shaping community docs, organizing regional events, and rewriting the narrative of what contributors from marginalized backgrounds can do.

This portfolio captures my journey — the wins, the lessons, and the spark of collaboration that made it all possible.

Some key highlights of my contributions

This portfolio covers work across:

🎤 Outreach & Events – Organized inclusive Fedora events (virtual + physical) and promoted DEI best practices.
📝 Docs & Communication – Contributed to Fedora documentation and created templates, guides, and audit reports.
🤝 Collaboration & Mentorship – Worked alongside peers and mentors, uplifting others through feedback and co-creation.
🔍 DEI & Open Source Impact – Focused on inclusion, community sustainability, and supporting underrepresented voices.

This is the story of how open source changed my trajectory.

Turkana — where it all started. Born and raised in Kenya, I had limited resources but limitless curiosity.
