// 01 — About me
Who I Am
Hey! I'm Emmanuel Magothe, a recent Computer Science graduate with a deep passion for building things on the web. From my first "Hello World" to deploying full-stack applications, I've been fascinated by how code transforms into products people actually use.
I specialize in building scalable full-stack web applications — from pixel-perfect frontends with React and Next.js to robust backend APIs with Node.js, Go, and PostgreSQL. I obsess over clean architecture, developer experience, and performance.
Currently seeking my first professional role where I can contribute to a great team, ship meaningful features, and continue growing as an engineer. I learn fast, communicate clearly, and bring genuine enthusiasm to everything I build.
