## Story

I started in IT, earning a diploma at JKUAT and working on networks at ICT Authority, and moved into design because I wanted to shape what people actually see and use. Since then I've led the brand and communications for PyCon Africa 2026 and AWS User Groups Pwani, and designed Roamly, a mobile app that helps groups plan trips together and split costs fairly. I'm now studying at the University of Nairobi while working as a founding designer at Fotoally. Portfolio: mohammed-bakuly.vercel.app
