About

My journey in tech began with my participation in the Google Africa Developer Scholarship Program three years ago. At the end of the program, I attained the Associate Google Cloud Certification. This ignited my passion for technology as a community-taught software developer and cloud engineer.

Since then, I have acquired a wealth of knowledge, skills, and certifications in frontend, backend, data analysis, data science, and blockchain technologies. In addition, I have also held software development roles, participated in tech entrepreneurship programs and hackathons, and currently, I am taking part in the ALX Software Engineering Program to enhance my knowledge in core software engineering concepts.

My expertise in programming and technology ensures that I always produce top-quality work, so if you're looking for a highly skilled and dedicated developer, I'm the perfect candidate for the job. You can contact me at richieorido@gmail.com
