@gabrieloginga
I build scalable web and mobile applications that improve user experience.
What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven software developer based in Nairobi, Kenya, skilled in designing, testing, and maintaining software systems. I stay at the forefront of technology by incorporating cutting-edge tools and thrive in collaborative environments.
At Jambojet I optimized a travel portal using Next.js, Redux, and MUI, integrating airline-specific booking engines to automate flight bookings and approvals and boost operational efficiency. I streamlined duty travel bookings with a manager approval system, built an admin console with role management and real-time reservation tracking, and deployed services on Azure for secure, scalable access. Previously, I translated designs into intuitive interfaces with React and Tailwind (increasing engagement by 15%), built backend solutions with Node.js and Express, and improved application performance through optimization and testing.
I collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, contribute to code reviews, and follow SDLC best practices. I seek opportunities to apply full-stack skills, build reliable systems, and continue learning while driving project success.
