I'm Eddie, a software developer in Kenya. I build web apps with Next.js, TypeScript and Supabase, and I tend to sweat the small stuff so the people using them don't have to.

A few things I've actually shipped. I picked these for the parts I'm proud of, mostly the small details that people only notice once they go missing.
No. 01
A community-built dictionary for Kenya's languages, anchored on English and Kiswahili. Anyone can add words, suggest edits and argue out the right translation in the threads.
Part software, part archive. It holds 37 languages and a few thousand verified entries so far, and the less documented a language is, the more one person's contribution moves the needle.

No. 02
A website for Cheche Za Nuru, a Kenyan non-profit working on education, healthcare and sports for children and young people. I built the public site and everything behind it.
It runs on a custom admin dashboard, so the team updates their own stories, gallery, impact numbers, team profiles and events without ever touching code or calling me.

No. 03
A survivor-first platform for responding to gender-based violence in Kenya. It keeps a survivor's journey connected, from the first call for help through to recovery, and puts everyone involved in one coordinated place.
This one pushed me. A panic button that still works on a bad connection, evidence that stays private, and a dozen roles that each see only what they should. None of it is glamorous, but it is the part that matters when someone actually needs help.

Read itWe figure out what you actually need before any code gets written. No jargon and no assumptions, just a clear picture of where you want to end up.
I sketch the structure and the screens so you can see the plan while it is still cheap to change your mind.
Short cycles with something to look at each time, so you are never left guessing what is happening.
Going live is not where my job ends. I stay on to fix the rough edges and help the thing grow once real people are using it.

Play with colour, type and spacing in real time until something clicks. Save a snapshot, send me the link, and we start from a look you already love instead of a blank page.
Not a wishlist. This is what I reach for on most days.
If you have a project rattling around in your head, I'd genuinely like to hear about it. Tell me what you're after and I'll come back with how I'd approach it and what it would take.
