Hello, I am Brenda J. Kiptim.

About me

For the past six years, I have called myself a software engineer specialising in frontend development.

A year ago, I intentionally began pivoting toward data storytelling, combining my engineering background with my interest in turning data into meaningful narratives. I now call myself a data storyteller.
