What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team that values agile collaboration and ownership. I want to build user-centered products, improve UX, and optimize workflows using React, scalable APIs, and reliable backends—so we deliver high-quality digital experiences.

I’m a driven Frontend and React developer with over 3 years of experience creating innovative, user-centered applications in agile environments. I focus on improving user experiences and optimizing workflows to ship high-quality digital products.

I’m proficient in React.js, TypeScript, JavaScript (ES6+), Tailwind CSS, and responsive design. I’ve contributed to multiple app projects—some still in development and others already in production—where I continuously improved my skills and delivery habits.

In my role as a Web developer, I built fast, modern UIs with React + Next.js, integrated Supabase as a backend-as-a-service, and structured RESTful API access for core app data. I implemented authentication and user flows, delivered e-commerce features like listings, filtering/search, and ensured mobile-first responsive design while optimizing data fetching and componentized UI.

As a Lead Software Developer, I led a team to deliver a feature-rich mobile delivery app using React Native with Expo, integrating front-end and back-end functionality and real-time notifications. I also built multi-tenant SaaS experiences in projects like KanisaOS (supporting 200+ churches across Kenya) and worked on scalable platforms using Next.js, Supabase, Paystack, and M-Pesa—always with scalability, reliability, and clean code as priorities.
