useful software
for real work.

A custom-built multilingual WordPress site with custom themes and plugins, using Elementor, that presents free zone licensing, business activities and visa options, with a focus on clear conversion paths for founders setting up a company online.

A services website that lets customers request a quote through a contact form or reach the team directly on WhatsApp, making it easy for people abroad to get tasks done in Kenya.

Designed integrations around real operational handoffs, using APIs and webhooks to move information between business systems. The focus was to reduce repetitive work while keeping the workflows maintainable and reviewable.

Designed and implemented the portfolio, project gallery, experience timeline, interactive UI, health endpoint, and AI chatbot. The main page is server-rendered, with client-side React state used where interaction is needed. The chat endpoint validates messages, limits conversation history, and calls Llama 3.1 through a Cloudflare Workers AI binding. The health endpoint returns application status and a timestamp.

Engineering highlights

• Responsive hand-written CSS interface with project filters, scroll-reactive timeline effects, and reduced-motion support for applicable animations.
• GitHub pushes trigger Cloudflare Workers Builds for automated builds and releases (not GitHub Actions).

Engineering trade-offs

The chatbot uses a grounded system prompt rather than a vector database or retrieval pipeline because its knowledge base is small. Current opportunities include API rate limiting, automated tests, streamed responses, and improved chatbot accessibility. Key package versions are Next.js ^16.0.0, React ^19.0.0, vinext ^1.2.1, Vite ^8.3.0, and @vinext/cloudflare ^1.1.1; the version ranges and Cloudflare runtime adapter should be revalidated when upgrading.

An AI-powered product made of a Laravel 12 and React/TypeScript admin application and an Electron and React desktop client that turns plain-language requests into runnable automation tools. I worked on company and user profile APIs, authenticated integrations, and LLM-powered workflows, helping reduce manual workload by 70%+.

Modelled owners, land parcels and quality assessments (pH, moisture, nutrients, score) behind JWT-protected REST endpoints on PostgreSQL, with a Docker Compose stack. Later used by a company that sells land in Kenya; the public repository holds the base project and the client-modified components are privately owned.

A multi-service application: a React dashboard with Chart.js, a Node/Express API with bcrypt and JWT authentication and role-protected admin routes on MongoDB, and a Flask service that fetches yfinance market data. Began as an MSc capstone and was later transformed into a client project; the public repository holds the MSc base project and the client-modified components are privately owned.

Guests browse the menu and reserve from tables that are free for their date, time and party size, with booking rules enforced on the server. An admin panel manages categories, menus with images, tables and reservations. Produced for a small chain of restaurants in the UAE; the public repository holds the base project and the client-modified components are privately owned.

Searchable, sortable tables and forms for employees, departments, countries, states and cities, plus user, role and permission management. Implemented in small companies to manage their employees; the public repository holds the base project and the client-modified components are privately owned.

Built for an NGO. Users register, sign in and keep a personal history of daily kWh readings. Passwords are hashed, tokens expire after two hours, and every query is scoped to the signed-in user. The public repository holds the base project; the client-modified components are privately owned.
