Hey, I'm Jeff Gichuki
I am a developer based in Nairobi. I write about things I find interesting, build things for fun, and generally use this site as a running, ever-evolving log of my journey as a developer. Part portfolio, part notebook. I like to think of it as my commonplace book.
I started out as a technical mentor at Moringa School, helping new developers get their footing. Since then I've co-founded 2003.studio, a web development studio, and Qivuli, a startup building property management software. Qivuli is what I'm working on these days.
You can find me on github, or email me at jeff@gichuki.me if you'd like to chat.
