Hello there!
I’m Kennedy, a full-stack web developer based in Nairobi, Kenya. I build intuitive and problem-focused tech products for both consumer and enterprise use.
Building with a purpose
I like working on interesting ideas and problems. Every product I work on solves a problem I’m interested in.

My philosophy
Based on my previous experiences, I’ve developed a system that guides me in everything I do. This allows me to stay focused and live in accordance with my values and purpose.
Learn new things by trying new things
I'm a doer, not a talker, and I believe the best way to learn is by doing. In a world filled with talkers, my approach involves putting myself firsthand in the mud and chaos associated with a project. And whether I fail or succeed, I still win.
Always work with smart minds
Always be the dumbest person in the room. The best way to avoid the illusion of "I KNOW IT ALL" is to allow myself to be challenged by people smarter than me. I believe in walking into a challenge I know nothing about.
Fail at every opportunity
I don’t fear failure, only the consequences of it. Whenever I fail, I learn more than when I succeed. There are more ways to fail than to succeed, so my mission is to shorten the list.
Experiences over money
I don’t remember the money I made, but I do remember every experience I ever had. There is nothing like lost money. I can trade money for experience and use the experience to make more money.
Focus on the problem than the tools
New tools come and go, and you can know all the tools by heart but have no idea how to use them. People don’t care about the tools as long as you can solve their problems.
Stay and live humble
Everyone is smart in their own way. I’ve found that you can learn more and live a more fulfilling life by just staying humble and being patient. Ego and arrogance can cost you a lot.
create your own opportunities
Nobody is entitled to anything or deserves to be given anything. When you don’t get the chances you want, go and create your own. Nobody should tell you who you can or can’t be.
