About

I’m a software engineer and product-focused developer from Nairobi, Kenya. I build web and mobile products from the ground up, with a focus on React, Next.js, TypeScript, and native mobile development.

I’m behind projects like The Reading Circle 254 and TRC Reader, where I’ve built everything from community platforms and dashboards to a proprietary ebook format, reading engine, and DRM infrastructure for independent authors and publishers.

I like building things that actually ship. I’m interested in the whole product, not just the code: the user experience, technical architecture, business model, and the problem the product is trying to solve.
