<aside> 🎨 Hi, I'm Victoria Riri, a Nairobi-based student at the Kenya High School with a great passion and respect for all things tech and Artificial Intelligence, particularly interested in the intersection between Artificial Intelligence and Quantum computing. With 3+ years of experience in coding, UX/UI, and web development, I like using the skills I’ve acquired over the years in building impactful projects, whether for school, clubs, helping some friends and sometimes, even passion projects.

I’ve picked up some coding basics from code.org, brilliant.org, Pranav Konjeti’s personal website, and Timz Owen’s youtube channel. I combine creativity with analytical thinking. I keep up with digital content trends and explore tech-media-society interactions through sketching and academic research, some of which I’m writing research papers for(can’t wait to see how these will eventually look like).
