Expertise

Full-stack Development
UI/UX Design

I'm a full-stack developer specializing in building high-performing web applications. With expertise in front-end technologies like React.js, Next.js, and Tailwind CSS, as well as back-end development using Python, Django, and PostgreSQL, I bring a comprehensive approach to software development. I've contributed to various significant projects, including the YAKWETU super app and JetBetKe's sports betting platform, where I focused on creating seamless user experiences and optimizing application performance. My experience extends to UI/UX design using Figma, allowing me to bridge the gap between design and development effectively.
