I'm David Kimani, a full-stack engineer with seven years building production web applications. I work mostly in the Vue and Laravel ecosystems (Nuxt, Vuetify, Inertia) and own the whole path from architecture to deploy, including the DevOps that keeps things running. I've shipped 27+ applications across property, healthcare, regulated operations and online marketplaces, and I've contributed to Vuetify along the way. I founded Kimcard Technologies, the studio my client work runs through. The starter kits are separate and my own: commercial kits that cut the bloat and over-engineering I kept running into, so the boring setup is done and you can just build. I write about Vue, Laravel, DevOps, and the day-to-day reality of shipping software.

How I got here
~7 years ago
Started shipping production apps
Began building full-stack web applications professionally. Vue and Laravel quickly became the primary tools.
Across industries
Shipped across four industries
Delivered across property, healthcare, regulated operations and online marketplaces, owning the full path from architecture and implementation to deploy and DevOps.
Open source
Contributed to Vuetify
Used Vuetify deeply enough to contribute back, and still build with it daily.
Now
Building developer tools
Turning seven years of shipping into starter kits that cut the setup overhead, and writing about Vue, Laravel, DevOps, and the day-to-day reality of shipping software.
03 / Now
What I'm building now
Client work comes first: operational systems (scheduling, audit trails, and payment reconciliation), and rescue work on production systems that have to stop breaking. I also sell commercial starter kits that cut the boilerplate and over-engineering out of modern web projects. They ship under my own name, and the source is delivered to you on purchase.
