FullStack Developer with team leadership responsibilities

Nairobi, Nairobi City

ABOUT

FullStack Developer with team leadership responsibilities. I hold a bachelor's degree in Software Engineering from Zetech University and am a certified Software Developer from The Jitu – Teach2Give. I am a motivated fullstack developer with 6+ years of hands-on experience building modern web applications using NestJS, TypeScript, Django, Python, React, Tailwind CSS, and Node.js, demonstrating strong problem-solving abilities and a commitment to writing clean, maintainable code while collaborating effectively with development teams. I am also proficient with Docker, Bash, and AWS, and I am currently undertaking formal training toward the AWS Cloud Practitioner certification, strengthening my understanding of cloud infrastructure, services, and best practices. I have deep expertise in modern TypeScript development practices, including strict typing, advanced generics, and type-safe API design, with extensive experience architecting both frontend React applications and backend Node.js services that handle millions of requests per day. Additionally, I am a skilled technical leader with emerging management experience, having contributed to team projects, participated in code reviews, and demonstrated natural leadership through peer mentoring and knowledge sharing. I am eager to grow into formal team leadership responsibilities while maintaining hands-on development skills. Finally, I am a quick learner who rapidly adapts to new technologies and development practices, with a proven ability to understand complex technical concepts and communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, positioning me to continue delivering high-quality, scalable solutions while growing into a leadership role.

PROJECTS

EXPERIENCE

Web_Developer

Atara Movement Studios // Nairobi

Currently working as a Web Developer while also filling in as a receptionist due to the small team size in this new business. I led the development of a full‑stack web application for managing bookings, users, and core studio operations. I also built and deployed the official studio website. My responsibilities include maintaining the booking systems, ensuring the PostgreSQL database runs smoothly, and managing all system operations. The system was built using NestJS, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, and containerized using Docker. • Led the development of a full‑stack web application for managing bookings, users, and core studio operations • Built and deployed the official studio website • Maintain the booking systems and ensure the PostgreSQL database runs smoothly • Manage all system operations • Built system using NestJS, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, and containerized using Docker
