About
I'm a full-stack developer and licensed advocate based in Nairobi. I build production systems end to end — from API design and database architecture to deployment and infrastructure — and I care deeply about the quality and accessibility of what I ship. My legal background shapes how I approach problems: I research thoroughly, reason carefully through tradeoffs, and take full ownership of what I build. Currently working on Hiddouts, a travel planning SaaS I designed and launched solo.
