Who I am and what drives me
Hi! I'm Elvis Sia, an Information Technology graduate from Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT), based in Juja, Kenya. My background spans IT support, networking, database systems, and web development, reinforced through hands-on industrial attachment and Cisco NetAcad certifications.
I'm experienced in configuring networks, developing backend-supported systems, and supporting end users in professional environments. My work is driven by a commitment to technical excellence, often exploring how technology can be used to solve real-world problems—from robust Java/Micronaut applications to generative AI integration.
Beyond tech, I am a dedicated Scout (WOSM) and a member of the University of Nairobi Kili Rovers Crew. I speak English, Swahili, Luo, and some German. Always open to exploring the frontier of technology and leadership.
