What I'm looking for

I’m available for full-time on-site or hybrid work in Nairobi; notice is to be discussed from my current role.

Nairobi-based full stack engineer. I ship and maintain production web apps: React and JavaScript/TypeScript UIs, Node.js/Express and Python (Flask/Django) APIs, PostgreSQL, authentication, and third-party integrations including M-Pesa. I deploy on Linux with Git/GitHub, domains, and SSL, and I debug live systems when the UI says success but the database write, email, or webhook did not land.

Live products include Carjo (carjo.co.ke), Vunjes, and MotionPro Trends. I also support Kenya’s National Treasury e-Government Procurement (eGP) platform. BSc Mathematics and Computer Science (JKUAT). Open to remote full-time software engineering roles that hire in Kenya or worldwide.
