Allan Kamau, full-stack developer in Nairobi, Kenya
I build software that stays up in production.
I'm a Computer Science student who designs the API and database, then deploys it myself. That includes a school fee system, an AI hiring platform, and a database API running on Oracle Cloud.
Software that goes all the way to production.
I've been building full-stack products on my own alongside my degree, and I care about the parts that usually get skipped: rate limiting, secrets, deployment, and what happens when the free tier cuts you off.
My biggest builds are Ledgr for school fee management, an AI-powered hiring platform, and a database and API on Oracle Cloud that I led for a university group project. I write the code, design the schema, and configure the network it runs on.
If you need a developer who can turn an idea into something people rely on, I'm open to internships, freelance projects, and collaboration, remote or in Nairobi.
From idea to a product people use.

From first call to launch.
Clear steps, a live preview as things take shape, and support after you go live.
We go through your goals, users, and budget, and I write down a plan.
Data model and screens first, so you can approve before I build.
Working releases on a live link, so you always see real progress.
Deployment, monitoring, and fixes once real users arrive.
