Who am I?

I'm Ian Nechenje, a seasoned Software and AI Engineer.

I am a dynamic Software Engineer with a passion for AI and Product development. I like embracing new challenges around taking new products to market, experimenting with new technologies, and fostering a culture of continuous learning within dynamic teams. I best describe myself as a polyglot software engineer who is a pragmatic problem-solver and thrives on pushing boundaries and learning from failures. Outside work, I'm an outdoors person who enjoys the thrills of endless road trips and extreme hiking and mountaineering. Let's work together and share in my proven track record of delivering high-quality products that exceed customer expectations.
