Wayne Kiprotich
Full-Stack Software Engineer building software that holds up in use.
I design and ship modern web applications end to end: the data model, the API and the interface people actually touch.
I build software for real use — chosen for the problem, measured after it ships, and simple enough to change later.

- Performance
- Clean architecture
- Maintainable code
- Practical choices

Seven steps, in the order they actually happen

Design
Interface and interaction decisions made deliberately, not assembled from defaults.
- 04
Development
Built in vertical slices, each one shippable, reviewable and demonstrable.
- 05
Testing
Correctness under load and edge cases, checked against real devices and real data.
- 06
Deployment
Pipelines, environment configuration and a release that is repeatable.
- 07
Support
Monitoring, fixes and iteration after launch, when the real usage starts.
About
An engineer in Nairobi, Kenya, working end to end
I move between frontend and backend without much ceremony, designing the data model one hour, tuning a transition the next. I care about systems that are simple to reason about and safe to change.

Have a problem worth building?
Tell me what the software needs to do and who has to use it. If it is a good fit, I will come back with scope, a build order and a realistic timeline.
