@gukagunia
Senior full-stack engineer who builds, scales, and ships end-to-end products with React, Node.js, GraphQL, and cloud-native delivery.
What I'm looking for
I’m a senior full-stack engineer with 10+ years building and scaling products in fast-paced startups, owning features end-to-end—from product decisions through deployment. I’m driven by user impact, clean functional code, and untangling complex problems with practical engineering.
Recently, I led FHIR-based sharing and event-driven pipelines, modeled patient vitals as Observation resources, and helped stabilize Kubernetes deployments using Terraform/Knative infrastructure. I’ve also built high-performance experiences (60fps SVG charting with virtualization), established CI/CD automation with Appium on GitLab, and co-founded an end-to-end children’s books product using an AWS serverless pipeline with OpenAI-powered image generation and webhook-triggered purchase-to-delivery workflows.
