Algorithmic Trader · Developer · DevOps Engineer in Progress
Building automated trading systems with MQL4/5 and Pine Script. Exploring cybersecurity, cloud infrastructure, and workflow automation — one system at a time.
Self-taught.
Systems-driven.
I'm Maxwell Wachira, a Computer Science student based in Nairobi, Kenya. I didn't wait for a classroom to teach me how to trade or code — I built my skills in the market trenches and through late nights debugging strategies.
My core work revolves around algorithmic trading — designing Expert Advisors and bots in MQL4/5 for MetaTrader, and crafting strategies in Pine Script for TradingView. I care deeply about strategy logic, risk management, and execution precision.
Beyond trading, I'm expanding into DevOps and AWS cloud computing, and I hold a Google Cybersecurity Certificate alongside an Ethical Hacking Essentials cert from EC-Council. I build automation workflows with n8n and apply AI tools across my entire stack.
Curious by nature. Builder by instinct. Always shipping.

Things I've built.
MQL5 Automated EA Suite
A collection of Expert Advisors built for MetaTrader 5, featuring custom entry/exit logic, dynamic risk management, trailing stops, and multi-timeframe analysis. Designed for consistent, hands-free execution.
Pine Script Strategy Library
Custom Pine Script indicators and strategy scripts for TradingView. Includes momentum-based entry signals, session filters, and automated alert systems for discretionary and algorithmic traders.
n8n Trading Signal Bot
An n8n automation workflow that aggregates trading signals, filters by criteria, and dispatches alerts via Telegram. Integrates external APIs and AI models to enhance signal quality and reduce noise.
Vulnerability Assessment Scripts
Python and bash scripts for automated vulnerability scanning and reconnaissance. Built while applying concepts from EC-Council EHE certification — covering enumeration, scanning, and reporting workflows.
