A LITTLE ABOUT ME

I'M INTERESTED IN PEOPLE, IDEAS, TECHNOLOGY AND WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE THREE COME TOGETHER.

I'm a young builder from Kenya driven by the thrill of turning raw ideas into thoughtful, usable digital products. I combine technology, creativity and entrepreneurship to craft solutions that solve everyday friction for real people and growing businesses. Whether it's streamlining property rentals, simplifying travel search, or building modern digital brands, I care deeply about elegance, utility, and human impact.

THE PERSON BEHIND THE WORK

WHO IS JOSH?

Josh is a young builder and creative entrepreneur from Kenya who gets energized by turning raw ideas into tangible, useful digital products that solve real problems.

Currently pursuing a Bachelor of Business Information Technology (BBIT) at JKUAT, he naturally bridges the gap between commercial strategy and engineering execution. He cares as much about why a product exists and how people interact with it as he does about the code that powers it.

Outside of building startups and digital ventures under Codevanta Ventures, you'll find him exploring contemporary fashion, dissecting business models, testing new technologies, and learning from people around him.
