Hello World! 🚀

I am Ezra Wanyama, widely known across my networks as The Smartphone Scientist. I am a 20-year-old Computer Science student studying at the University of the People from Nakuru, Kenya.

For the past couple of years, I have dedicated myself to a singular technical mission: proving that a smartphone isn't just a consumption device—it is an accessible, high-performance programming supercomputer. Without a laptop or traditional workstation, I build, host, and push production-grade applications directly to cloud environments using a purely mobile terminal stack. 📋 My Mobile Engineering Stack

Developing on a phone requires highly optimized tools. My day-to-day ecosystem consists entirely of:

🗺️ What I am Currently Building

I focus on engineering software solutions that tackle real-world utility barriers:

👥 Building the "CS Connect" Initiative

Hardware limits shouldn't kill technical passion. I founded CS Connect to gather peer developers together, share localized configuration scripts, and train students on how to maximize mobile setups to learn advanced computer science concepts.

Let's change how the world thinks about accessibility in tech. What are you hacking on today from your device?
