Norton Akenga
Web Developer and Father in Nairobi, Kenya
What’s up, I’m Norton born and raised in Nairobi Kenya and a last born in a family of 2. well I come from Luhya community which is tribe that comes from the western part of Kenya.
I am introverted who enjoys making friends. (Don’t ask me how I do that) I perfectly enjoy watching quality movies, football and basketball games or using a personal computer during my spare time but nowadays with my small little menace around (My beautiful Daughter Leeann) who is barely a year old and so far the best gift that life has ever given me, I rarely get to do that in peace. I live in Nairobi Kenya with my fiancé/wife (both do apply since we are traditionally married but am yet to put a ring on it) but truth be told she is an amazing woman. Almost forgot I also do enjoy watching soccer, Arsenal is my favorite team (so that can tell you how much of patient guy I am) and am also a fan of Golden State Warrior (Dub Nation).

I am a Telecommunications major from Multimedia University of Kenya but I accidentally found myself in the Coding world (Web Developer) . I have been with Samasource for 2 years and some few months now and I can say it has been an amazing journey.
