Profile

I'm a Nairobi-based full stack software engineer building production software for African markets. I design and ship end-to-end systems — payment rails, KRA-compliant invoicing, multi-tenant property platforms, and high-traffic storefronts — and own them through deployment, scaling, and on-call. I obsess over UI polish as much as data integrity, and I've shipped to over 60 clients without dropping a release.

Experience

  1. Full Stack Software Engineer

    2024 — Present

    Independent Studio · Nairobi

    Leading end-to-end builds for fintech, proptech, and commerce clients — M-Pesa Daraja rails, KRA eTIMS reconciliation, multi-tenant Django + Next.js platforms, and zero-downtime Railway/Vercel deploys. Owning architecture, code review, and on-call across 12+ production systems.

  2. Full Stack Developer

    2022 — 2024

    Contract & Agency Work

    Delivered 30+ client projects across Kenya and remote teams: REST APIs, Postgres schema design, role-based auth, and pixel-tight React UIs. Reduced one client's checkout latency by 62% and cut Django query counts by 4x via select_related and indexed lookups.

  3. Frontend Engineer

    2020 — 2022

    Freelance · Remote

    Shipped responsive React and Next.js storefronts, dashboards, and marketing sites with Tailwind, Framer Motion, and TypeScript. Set up CI/CD pipelines, Lighthouse-100 budgets, and component libraries reused across 15+ client projects.

  4. Junior Developer

    2019 — 2020

    Independent · Self-directed

    Built foundational portfolio of Python, Django, JavaScript, Linux, and Git skills through 20+ practice projects. Open-sourced a handful of utilities and contributed bug fixes to public Django and Next.js repos.

Education

  1. Full Stack Software Engineering

    2019 — Present

    Self-Taught · Independent Study

    Deep self-directed study across Django, DRF, Next.js App Router, PostgreSQL internals, React Server Components, TypeScript, and Linux/Docker fundamentals. Maintain a personal curriculum that mirrors a full engineering syllabus.

  2. Systems Design & API Architecture

    2021 — Present

    Self-Taught · Online Courses & Docs

    Studied scalable system design, REST and GraphQL patterns, caching, queues, and observability through MDN, Django docs, Next.js docs, and open-source reading groups. Apply each pattern to a real shipped project before considering it learned.

  3. Applied Engineering through Shipping

    Ongoing

    Self-Taught · Production Projects

    Treat every client and personal project as a structured learning loop — measure, refactor, and document. Have shipped 12+ full-stack systems end to end, each one stretching a different part of the stack.
