Hello, I'm Peter Mirithu. I've always been enthusiastic about problem-solving ever since I turned the age of accountability. As a Software Engineer now, I get to enjoy solving problems of various kinds, making new applications, and posing a significant impact wherever I go. I would say that if I had a superpower, it would be problem-solving. I love working with Python and Javascript and I have a strong passion for them. My main interests are Software Development, Mobile Application Development, developing and working with AI Models, and Website and web application development.
Currently, I am a Software Engineer at Vitafluence.ai where we develop ethical, representative, empathetic and responsible AI solutions that improve human experienced quality of life.
I honed my programming skills at Moringa School and the United States International University - Africa. Driven by a passion for continuous learning, I am always seeking to expand my expertise and stay at the forefront of technology.
