I build and rescue
production web applications.

Full-stack engineer, seven years, 27+ applications shipped. Laravel, Vue, Nuxt, PostgreSQL, and the DevOps that keeps it running at 3am.

I am strongest on operational systems: scheduling, audit trails, and payment reconciliation.

What I do

01

Engineering for hire

Contract, fractional, or full-time. I take work where someone needs one senior engineer accountable for a system: a build that has to ship, or one that has to stop breaking. Client projects run through my studio, Kimcard Technologies.

02

Write about the craft

Honest writing on Vue, Nuxt, Laravel, and DevOps. No padding, no SEO filler. Just the lessons earned the hard way.

03

Build developer products

Starter kits and developer tools built from patterns proven in real production systems, not in a tutorial. Buy a kit and the full source is yours.

Things I've shipped

PropTech SaaS

rentiQ

Built rentiQ as the system of record for rental money. Payments arrive either automatically through the client's own M-Pesa Paybill or by hand from a caretaker with a cash box, and both go through one allocation engine that applies them to the right invoices in the right order, flags anything ambiguous for a two-click resolution, and leaves an audit trail. Around that core sit the operations of a rental business: buildings and units, lease lifecycles, maintenance tickets, and reporting written for the Kenyan market first. It is Kimcard Technologies' own product, and it is live.

About

David Kimani

Hi, I'm David.

I'm a full-stack engineer based in Nairobi, building web products with Vue, Nuxt, and Laravel. I care about the craft: fast, accessible, well-structured software. I share what I learn as I go. Right now that means client work through my studio, Kimcard Technologies, and writing honestly about it.
