About me

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 and the DevOps that keeps things running. I've shipped 27+ applications across healthcare, real estate, aviation security, and online marketplaces, and I've contributed to Vuetify along the way. These days I'm turning that experience into developer tools: starter 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.

Based in Nairobi · works in English, Swahili & German.

02 / Experience

How I got here

  1. ~7 years ago

    Started shipping production apps

    Began building full-stack web applications professionally — Vue and Laravel quickly became the primary tools.

  2. Across industries

    27+ applications shipped

    Delivered across healthcare, real estate, aviation security, and online marketplaces — owning the full path from architecture and implementation to deploy and DevOps.

  3. Open source

    Contributed to Vuetify

    Used Vuetify deeply enough to contribute back — and continue to build with it daily.

  4. 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

Building developer tools and starter kits that cut the boilerplate and over-engineering out of modern web projects.
