Christopher Vundi
@christophervundi
I build scalable backend systems, payments platforms, and full-stack products across PHP, Elixir, Go, and React.
KenyaWhat I'm looking for
I've built scalable product and payments systems for Vayliron, SalesRabbit, Showclix, ZipBooks, and The Potential Project. At Vayliron, I redesigned driver assignment around Laravel queues and Redis, automated Stripe and Paystack payments, and helped extract payments into Go microservices.
At SalesRabbit, I helped launch WebMap V1 and Digital Contracts, which contributed nearly 30% of company revenue during my tenure, while stabilizing core APIs through an Elixir migration. I also lead backend work for an augmented-reality community project, mentor developers, write technical articles, and am currently exploring LLMs and AI agents.
