Mwaura Frankiline · Full-stack engineer

Crafted software, shipped with care.

I build fast, considered products with Ruby on Rails, React and Next.js, from first idea to live deploy.

01 / Idea

It starts with a conversation.

We pin down the problem, who it’s for and what success looks like before a single pixel moves.

02 / Design

Structure before style.

Wireframes map every flow, so the build is about craft, not guesswork.

03 / Build

Clean code, solid foundations.

Rails on the back end, React and Next.js on the front, tested where it counts.

04 / Ship

Live, fast and looked after.

Automated deploys and performance budgets, so launch day is the start, not the finish.

About

Engineer by trade,
craftsman by habit.

I'm Mwaura Frankiline, a full-stack software engineer who cares as much about how software feels as how it works. I trained at Moringa School through pair programming and project building, and I've been shipping products for clients and collaborators ever since.

I also enjoy teaching: I write technical articles to help other developers learn the tools I use every day.

Backend
Ruby on Rails, Laravel, Python (Odoo), PostgreSQL, Redis
Frontend
React, Next.js, Hotwire, Tailwind CSS
Infrastructure
Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, CI/CD
