Software Engineer & Designer based in Nairobi, Kenya.
I help individuals and businesses turn ideas into scalable, production-ready web applications.
I focus on performance, reliability, and building systems that are genuinely useful, not just impressive demos.
🏗️ Product Engineering
I build web applications end-to-end: UI, data models, APIs, and deployment. My focus is on clarity, reliability, and writing maintainable code that scales.
⚙️ Backend & APIs
I design REST APIs, database schemas, and background workflows. I am proficient in Node.js, Firebase, SQL/NoSQL, and serverless deployments via Vercel.
💳 Payments & Integrations
Experienced in integrating payment systems like M-Pesa (Daraja) and KCB Buni. I handle real-time callbacks, reconciliation flows, idempotency safeguards, and production edge cases to ensure payment systems remain reliable and secure.
There are much more, these are just the few that I got icons for.
