Ruth Jeptanui

Passionate Developer and Designer

A frontend developer and UI/UX designer passionate about creating intuitive, accessible digital experiences. Skilled in React, Angular, JavaScript and AWS, I enjoy blending clean code with thoughtful design to build responsive, user-centered products.

I have extensively contributed to impactful projects like Global Careers Africa (a remote hiring platform) and UshuruSmart (a tax compliance tool), solutions that reinforced my belief in building technology that is powerful, inclusive, and scalable.

Beyond coding, I enjoy photography. I believe in the power of visual storytelling to connect people and ideas. Whether capturing moments through my lens or crafting digital experiences, I strive to create beauty and functionality in everything I do. Photography is an art.
