What I Do

From frontend architecture to backend systems, RESTful APIs to database optimisation — I deliver end-to-end engineering that holds up at enterprise scale.

Full-Stack Web Development

I design and build robust, high-performance web applications from ground up — React and Angular frontends backed by .NET, Spring Boot or Laravel APIs, connected to PostgreSQL, Oracle or MySQL databases. I have shipped national-scale systems for the Ministry of Education (KEMIS — serving millions of Kenyan learners) and mission-critical fintech platforms processing thousands of daily transactions for Equity Group and Family Bank.

Enterprise & Government Systems

I have a proven track record delivering enterprise-grade systems for regulated sectors. At the Kenya Revenue Authority I built the Case Monitoring Tool supporting mission-critical tax operations. At the Ministry of Education I contributed to KEMIS — a national learner data platform informing government policy. I understand compliance requirements, secure data handling, audit trails and the operational demands of government-scale deployments.

UI/UX, Brand Identity & Print Design

I design across the full visual communication spectrum — UI/UX design (wireframes, prototypes, design systems), brand identity (logo design, colour systems, typography, brand guidelines), website design (landing pages, corporate sites), enterprise system UI (dashboards, admin panels, government portals), and print & marketing materials (brochures, flyers, pitch decks, company profiles). Every design decision is grounded in strategy, usability and the business goal it serves.

RESTful API Design & Integration

I design and integrate RESTful and SOAP APIs that power complex business workflows — from payment gateway callbacks and reconciliation pipelines to third-party government API integrations. I implement secure authentication patterns (OAuth, LDAP), idempotent endpoints, webhook processing and comprehensive API documentation. Systems I have integrated include M-Pesa, card payment gateways, and cross-ministry data services.

SEO & Performance Optimisation

I implement technical SEO strategies that improve organic visibility and drive measurable traffic growth — semantic HTML structure, Core Web Vitals optimisation, structured data/schema markup, server-side rendering and metadata strategy. Combined with frontend performance engineering (code splitting, lazy loading, query refinement), I have delivered measurable ranking and performance improvements on production systems. Live examples include CBE TrackFinder (ranking for 10,000+ Kenyan senior schools), KEMIS (national education platform) and Pathfinder (E&M Technology House).

Technical Leadership & Mentoring

As Lead Frontend Engineer at E&M Technology House, I drive engineering standards through code reviews, architectural decisions and CI/CD pipeline management. I have mentored junior developers, delivered technical training to government staff nationwide and authored system documentation and workflow configuration manuals. I translate complex technical concepts into clear, actionable guidance for cross-functional teams.

Project Description

The Ministry of Education commissioned a national digitisation initiative to migrate from NEMIS to KEMIS. The new system needed to handle learner registration at scale, support multiple government modules and feed real-time data into national policy decisions.

I contributed to the full development lifecycle — building React frontend modules, integrating them with .NET backend APIs, optimising SQL queries for reporting, and delivering technical training to teachers and administrators nationwide.

Modules I Built

Learners Registration System — national learner enrollment and data management
Institution Registration System — school and institution onboarding
ECDE Module — Early Childhood Development & Education tracking
Bursary & Scholarship System — financial aid management for government beneficiaries
ElimuTrees — national environmental tracking system

Key Contributions

Migrated legacy NEMIS frontend to a modern React architecture with .NET backend services
Integrated frontend modules with backend APIs and optimised SQL queries for large-scale reporting
Participated in backend module development and API integration
Provided nationwide technical training to teachers and government administrators
Authored system documentation and workflow configuration manuals

Project Description

Financial institutions integrating multiple payment providers face inconsistent records, duplicate logic and reconciliation headaches. Recon-Master centralises this process — normalising provider behaviour, guaranteeing reliable transaction states and providing full audit traceability from initiation to settlement.

My Impact

I designed the scalable UI architecture integrated with secure RESTful backend services. I improved application performance by 30% through rendering optimisation, query refinement and efficient state handling. I also collaborated on PostgreSQL and Oracle database configurations supporting the financial reconciliation workflows.

Key Features

Multi-channel transaction ingestion — normalises data from M-Pesa, card networks and bank transfers
Automated discrepancy detection — flags mismatches between provider records and internal ledger
Immutable audit trail — every reconciliation action is logged for regulatory compliance
Real-time dashboard — operations teams monitor reconciliation status and resolve exceptions live
Secure webhook processing — idempotent callback handling across multiple payment providers

UI/UX Design, Brand Identity & Visual Communication

I am both an engineer and a designer. My design practice spans the full spectrum — from crafting brand identities and logo systems, to designing complex enterprise dashboards, government portals, website layouts, mobile app flows, marketing collateral and print materials like brochures and pitch decks. Every deliverable I produce bridges the gap between aesthetics and function — designed to communicate, built to convert.

Complex dashboard interfaces, admin panels, data tables, workflow builders and government portals — designed for power users who need clarity and efficiency at scale.

📱

Mobile App Design

iOS and Android app wireframes and high-fidelity prototypes — user journeys mapped from onboarding to core flows, tested and refined before a line of code is written.

📄

Brochures & Print

Tri-fold brochures, company profiles, flyers and marketing materials — print-ready designs that communicate brand values professionally in the physical world.

My Design Process

Good design is not decoration — it is strategy made visible. My process follows a structured approach borrowed from brand identity methodology:

Research & Audit — understanding the audience, competitors, and business goals before touching any design tool
Strategy & Concept — defining brand voice, visual direction and information architecture
Wireframing — low-fidelity layouts to validate structure and user flows fast
High-Fidelity Design — pixel-perfect Figma screens with real content, proper typography and colour systems
Prototype & Test — interactive prototypes to validate usability before development
Handoff & Build — as both designer and engineer, I implement what I design — no translation loss between design and code
