Hello World 👋 I'm
Full Stack Software Developer & Computer Science student at Strathmore University, Nairobi. I build scalable web applications, explore cybersecurity, and turn ideas into powerful digital solutions.
About Me
I'm Shone Charles Kahuria Muune, a passionate Full Stack Software Developer and Computer Science undergraduate at Strathmore University, Nairobi. With a strong foundation across the full development stack, I architect and deliver modern web applications that are fast, scalable, and user-centric.
Beyond code, I explore the intersection of technology and security — having completed dual certifications in Industrial Cybersecurity (ICS/OT) and Cybersecurity through Opswat Academy. I believe technology is a catalyst for meaningful change, and I love tackling challenges that push both creative and technical boundaries.
When I'm not building software, you'll find me sharpening strategy over a chessboard, on the football field, or following the latest in open-source innovation and tech.
