@kevinmusanii
Senior full‑stack web developer specializing in Laravel, Vue.js, Python, and cloud DevOps.
What I'm looking for
I am a versatile full‑stack web developer with over 7 years of experience building scalable, user‑focused web applications using PHP (Laravel), Vue.js, and Python. I design backend architecture, RESTful APIs, and integrate frontends while applying DevOps practices like Docker and GitLab CI/CD for reliable deployments.
Throughout my career I have delivered SaaS platforms, CMS customizations, e‑learning systems, and enterprise solutions with high availability; I reduced bugs by 50% through TDD/BDD, cut incident response times by 35%, and improved report generation and throughput via refactoring and microservice migrations.
I mentor and lead engineers, produce clear technical documentation, and manage Linux servers and cloud infrastructure (AWS/DigitalOcean). I seek roles where I can solve complex problems, improve performance, and help teams adopt robust engineering and DevOps practices.
