I build Python and Django platforms, APIs, and payment integrations used by real customers.
KenyaWhat I'm looking for
I've built production web platforms for Makao Homes and Realtors, freelance clients, and WHTa Networks, using Python, Django, REST APIs, and PostgreSQL.
At Makao Homes and Realtors, I designed and developed a full-stack real estate platform with 70+ active listings and 2,000+ monthly visitors. I also built an admin dashboard that lets non-technical staff manage listings independently.
Through freelance work, I've delivered 10+ backend and full-stack projects, including an e-commerce platform processing approximately 100,000 KSH in monthly transactions through M-Pesa and Stripe. I design database schemas, build well-documented APIs, and use Sentry to resolve production issues faster.
At WHTa Networks, I shipped Django features for a platform serving 300+ active users and delivered RESTful APIs that reduced frontend development time by 40%. I also maintain databases, deploy applications, write automated tests, and use AI-assisted tools while making architecture decisions.
