Full Stack TypeScript Developer
Crafting exceptional web experiences with full-stack TypeScript. Based in Nairobi, Kenya.
What I build with
React · Next.js · TanStack · Tailwind CSS · TypeScript
Ownership
From architecture through deployment and the work after launch. I stay accountable for the entire lifecycle, not just my part.
Architecture
Data modeling, stack decisions, and reviews before you commit. I help teams choose paths they can live with.
Teams
I lead, mentor, and collaborate across product, design, and engineering, translating constraints so the work actually lands.
Engagement
Full-time, contract, and freelance across remote US teams, hybrid setups, and in-person. Forward-deployed too. Embedded inside your org to build the integrations and upgrades your stack needs from the inside.
Open source
Maintainable code by default, open source contributions, and tools built on the fly: CLIs, Chrome extensions, web apps, and MCPs that remove friction and multiply what a team can ship.
Why I choose what I choose
Language
TypeScript is the discipline layer. I use it to make intent explicit before bugs get a chance to become runtime surprises.
Blogs
Published here first — then cross-posted to Dev.to with a canonical URL.

Résumé as typed JSON. Tweak it with any LLM, edit it by hand. Export a clean PDF, same result every time. Store sections individually so you can reuse and remix them later, reassemble everything back into a polished PDF whenever you need.
