I’m a third-year ICT student at Laikipia University, Kenya, building practical engineering experience in cloud, infrastructure, backend systems, databases, and software development. My projects focus on applying theory to real-world systems, from networking and web development to modern product-style applications.

• 🔭 Currently building and refining practical projects in cloud, networking, and full-stack development
• 🌱 Learning: Linux, networking fundamentals, cloud deployment, backend APIs, and modern web stacks
• 🧩 Interested in: Cloud infrastructure, networking, system operations, automation, and backend architecture
• 🤝 Open to internships, collaboration, and project opportunities in cloud, networking, and software engineering

• Cisco Packet Tracer labs
• VLAN configuration
• Routing and switching fundamentals
• IP addressing and subnetting
• Network troubleshooting and lab-based practice
• Linux-oriented system exploration

My repository work shows a mix of practical engineering and applied software development:

• Full-stack web applications with database-backed business logic
• Backend APIs and app services using Python and Node.js
• Frontend interfaces in React and Next.js
• Network engineering practice using Cisco Packet Tracer and CCNA-style labs
• Infrastructure-oriented projects and deployment-focused experiments
• Problem-solving projects for real-world workflows such as health management, financial tracking, and travel exploration

A responsive weather dashboard built with React and Vite.

• Tech: React, TypeScript, Vite
• Highlights: frontend patterns, UI development, API-driven app experience
• Repo: https://github.com/waithira-felix-coder/react-weather-app

My work shows a clear progression from foundational programming and web basics toward more integrated engineering work:

• Started with programming fundamentals and problem-solving scripts
• Built frontend and basic web applications with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and React
• Added backend and data-driven application development using PHP, MySQL, and Python APIs
• Expanded into networking, infrastructure concepts, and Linux-oriented systems learning
• Developed more advanced full-stack and product-style projects involving databases, APIs, deployment, and user-facing apps

This progression reflects a path toward cloud and infrastructure engineering: combining software development skills with networking, systems thinking, and deployment awareness.

I am actively developing toward Cloud & Infrastructure Engineering with a strong practical foundation across:

• Networking and infrastructure fundamentals
• Linux and systems exposure
• Cloud deployment and application hosting
• Backend development and database integration
• Application architecture and full-stack engineering
• Security awareness and automation mindset

My work is not limited to one domain — it combines networking, backend systems, application development, and infrastructure-oriented learning into one practical technical profile.
