Full-Stack Engineer & Tech Lead · Nairobi, Kenya
I help growing businesses build fast, reliable web platforms — from Next.js frontends to cloud infrastructure and everything in between. 4+ years delivering production systems across East Africa and beyond.
I don't just write code — I understand what the business needs and build systems that hold up at scale.
I've spent the last 4+ years at Yellow Pages Group leading web development and customer success across Kenya, Cape Verde, and Mozambique. What started as a web developer role grew into managing a 15-person team spanning graphic design, web development, IT support, QA, and customer success — and I discovered that I'm equally comfortable in architecture discussions and client conversations.
On the technical side, I specialise in Next.js, Node.js, PostgreSQL, and AWS. I've migrated 7 country websites from Drupal to Next.js, built CI/CD pipelines that cut deployment errors by 30%, and deployed an AI-powered chatbot serving 10,000+ monthly queries. I understand both the frontend and the infrastructure that keeps it running.
I'm now available for freelance projects and fractional technical leadership engagements. Whether you need a full application built from scratch, an existing system optimised, or a technical leader who can work with your team — let's talk.
