Transforming Ideas into Code
About Me
Hello! I'm Lorna Wanjiru, a software engineer and entrepreneur with a deep love for building thoughtful digital products and brands. I specialize in TypeScript, JavaScript, and Python, working mainly with modern frameworks like Next.js, React, and Django REST Framework. Since 2022, I've been a Software Engineer at Microsoft, shipping user-facing experiences at scale while mentoring and supporting developers in the tech community. I'm also the founder behind Vantelee Jewelry and Zanira Clothing, where I design and ship full e-commerce experiences from concept to production. My portfolio reflects a commitment to pairing elegant UX with solid engineering so that every product feels as polished as it is performant.
