What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a senior frontend or mobile engineering role on a product-focused team, working mainly with React, React Native, Next.js, and TypeScript. I’m open to full-time or long-term contract roles, remote or with relocation support. I do my best work when I can own features end-to-end, collaborate closely with design and backend, and ship quickly to real users.

Senior Software Engineer with 6+ years of experience shipping high-performance web and mobile products. My work has spanned fintech, mobility, AI, and developer tooling for companies across multiple countries.

As Lead Mobile Developer at Bahojutech, I led the build of a full ride-hailing app with real-time tracking, routing, and in-app payments. At Adanian Labs in Nairobi, I led frontend development for a no-code website builder and mentored junior engineers. I’ve built cross-platform fintech apps for BroadSend (Toronto) and Fatt Pay, and most recently shipped an AI-powered dating app at Jinnee with real-time matching.
