Fanuel Rodgers.
I build practical things,
mostly on purpose.

Information Technology student at the Technical University of Mombasa. Full-stack, cloud, a little bit of everything in-between — written down here as I go.

§ 01

A short note on how I work.

I'm an Information Technology student at the Technical University of Mombasa, and mostly I'm curious. Curiosity is the whole engine — everything else is practice.

Right now that curiosity is pointed at data & full-stack development with Python, Next.js, and Supabase. Alongside that I keep sharpening the fundamentals — networking, cybersecurity, database design — and show up to learn in community through GDG on Campus TUM.

The way I see it, the best way to master technology is to actually use it. Troubleshoot a network. Ship a small app. Volunteer with Pure Pearl Foundation and turn theory into something someone can hold.
