What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a collaborative environment that fosters innovation and growth, where I can leverage my skills in frontend development and contribute to impactful projects.

I'm a dedicated Frontend Software Engineer with a strong background in building scalable applications. Currently, I work at Namiri, where I've developed a multi-country tax invoicing dashboard using Next.js and GraphQL, significantly improving compliance for businesses across Kenya, Zambia, and Nigeria. My experience includes designing reusable UI components that accelerate feature development, showcasing my commitment to efficiency and innovation.

Previously, I served as a Full Stack Engineer at Plecco, where I led a team to create a parking management system with Ruby on Rails and React. I successfully architected a scan-to-park feature that reduced manual processing by 40% and migrated legacy systems to Google Cloud Platform for enhanced scalability. My journey also includes impactful roles at Twiga Foods and Andela, where I honed my skills in automating processes and bridging technical and leadership teams.
