What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build accessible, reliable full-stack applications where I can contribute with React, Node.js, APIs, databases, and Docker while continuing to grow through hands-on product development.

I've built and maintained government-facing React and Node.js websites at Makueni Tech and Innovation Hub, achieving 95% Lighthouse accessibility scores and WCAG 2.1 compliance.

I developed a React and MySQL sand mining tracker that helped 12 county officials monitor 50+ sites, improving regulatory compliance by 30%. I also containerized full-stack applications with Docker and built REST APIs handling 1,000+ daily requests under 200ms.

My projects include Nexivent, a microservices event platform built for 10,000+ concurrent users, a property rentals platform, and a production-ready role-based authentication API. I work across JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Python, Node.js, SQL, Docker, and modern backend tooling.
