Platforms & web apps
Custom PHP/MySQL, Django and FastAPI backends, and WordPress with Oxygen Builder and ACF - CMSs, member areas, forums and dashboards.

I build platforms from scratch - and keep them running under pressure.
(01) - About
Software developer in Nairobi working in Python, Django and Linux. I'm Full Stack Developer and DevOps Engineer at ADRES Group and build my own products on the side - taking platforms from scratch to a stable production server, and keeping them running when it matters.
(02) - What I do
Build it, ship it,
keep it running
Most projects need more than a website. I take platforms from the first client meeting to a stable production server - and keep looking after them once they're live.
Payments & integrations
M-Pesa Daraja C2B with automatic bill reconciliation, SMS alerts, email and CRM flows (Fluent Forms, FluentCRM), and REST APIs for mobile clients.
e.g. Timaji WaterInfrastructure & DevOps

e.g. LVBC, IGAD FSI migrationMobile field apps
React Native (Expo) apps for staff in the field - camera and on-device OCR, QR lookup, GPS capture - talking to the same backend as the dashboard.

(03) - How I work
Four steps,
no surprises
- 01
Discover
I run the discovery meetings myself - goals, users, content, and what already exists that we can keep.
- 02
Build
On a staging copy first, with the stack chosen to suit the client and the team who will run it.
- 03
Launch
Planned staging-to-production cutovers: data migration, database search-replace, and DNS and email preserved.
- 04
Keep it running
Security fixes, outages, caching and performance work after go-live - the part most projects skip.
