Contract / project work — preferred
I prefer scoped engagements where I can understand the product, estimate the implementation, agree on deliverables, and quote based on the size and complexity of the work.
Work with me
Remote product engineering for startups that need software shipped.
I am based in Nairobi, Kenya and work on East Africa Time (EAT, UTC+3). I prefer contract work and 0→1 startup environments where the engineering problem is still broad enough to benefit from end-to-end ownership. I can scope a project, estimate it, build it, release it, and iterate after real users touch it. I am remote only and also open to a strong full-time role.

International remote work
I am based in Nairobi, Kenya and work on East Africa Time (EAT, UTC+3). I work remotely with international teams and receive contract payments in US dollars (USD) or euros (EUR).
0→1 startup product development
This is my strongest fit: turning a product requirement into architecture, implementation, backend state, integrations, tests, deployment, and a usable production release.
Feature or system ownership
I am comfortable taking ownership of a complete feature area rather than waiting for every implementation decision to be decomposed into isolated tickets.
Full-time roles — open
Contract work is my preference, not a restriction. I am open to a strong full-time remote role where the product, engineering scope, and ownership are a good fit.
Best fit
Where I create the most leverage.
Early-stage startups that need a product shipped from scratch or a prototype turned into a production system.
Founders who want one engineer to own a meaningful product area across mobile/web UI, API, data, integrations, testing, and release.
Existing implementations that need stronger architecture, faster UX, production hardening, payment/API integration, or mobile/web expansion.
Remote teams that value fast iteration, direct communication, branch-based delivery, and measurable shipped outcomes.
Current founder context
Building products does not prevent me from joining yours.
My launched products are in learning and product-market-fit stages rather than continuous full-time feature development. Most current work is targeted UX improvement, maintenance, patches, distribution, and validation. That leaves me available for meaningful contract or full-time engineering work.
