About
A working record.
I'm a Software Engineer and currently the Lead Software Engineer at Nurture Connect. I work across frontend, mobile, and backend stacks with strong expertise in TypeScript, React, Next.js, React Native, Node.js, Flutter, and Python. I build scalable, production-ready systems with clean architecture and strong UX foundations.
At Nurture Connect, I drive the design and delivery of user-focused digital products from concept to deployment. I bridge hands-on development and technical leadership, mentoring engineers, defining architectural direction, and ensuring code quality across the stack.
Previously, at C4DLab (University of Nairobi) I led software development and infrastructure for research-driven platforms. I also led frontend and mobile engineering at MONOS, delivering systems used globally across education and commerce.
I work extensively with cloud infrastructure and DevOps practices and I'm continually sharpening these skills through complex deployments and certification (AWS Certified Solutions Architect).
