About

I’m a software engineer based in Nairobi, building cross-platform mobile apps with Flutter and Dart and delivering polished, responsive experiences for Android and iOS. I also work on full-stack web solutions using React.js, Node.js, and Express, connecting UIs to RESTful APIs and databases so products feel fast, reliable, and user-friendly.

Over the past few years freelancing, I’ve integrated Firebase (authentication and push notifications), implemented offline-first features with SQLite, and used Provider for clean state management. I enjoy working directly with clients in Agile/Scrum environments, turning requirements into tested, deployable software and publishing updates to app stores and production systems with confidence.
