What I'm looking for

I seek a product-focused engineering role where I can build scalable web systems, mentor engineers, work in agile teams, and help improve security and deployment practices.

I am a full-stack software engineer with extensive hands-on experience building web applications using JavaScript (React, Next.js) and Python (Django, DRF, FastAPI). I have repeatedly delivered production-ready products, from e-commerce platforms to payment gateways, and I work across frontend, backend and cloud hosting.

I have led and mentored large cohorts of junior engineers, helping more than 1,000 developers grow technically and contribute meaningful solutions to the tech community. I also collaborate effectively within agile teams, driving sprint ceremonies and cross-functional delivery.

My work includes designing and integrating APIs (Daraja, Jenga), implementing JWT-based authentication and secure coding practices, and deploying services to AWS (EC2, RDS, S3). I build interactive front-end experiences with React and manage complex client-side state while coordinating closely with designers and backend teams.

I seek to contribute to product-driven teams that value scalable engineering, mentorship, and secure, well-tested code; I bring a track record of launching platforms used by hundreds of active users and improving product security and reliability.
