Designing with intention, building with empathy.

I design and build digital experiences that connect with people. Curiosity drives my process; empathy shapes every decision. info@gichukimuchiri.com

Gichuki Muchiri working on code

I am Collins Gichuki, a full-stack developer and designer based in Kenya. I collaborate with founders, teams, and individuals to turn ideas into fast, scalable, and user-focused digital products. From concept to clean, production-ready code, I care about how things work just as much as how they feel.

My approach blends strategy, design, and engineering. I build intuitive interfaces and reliable systems that are maintainable, performant, and future-ready. Whether it’s a startup MVP or an enterprise platform, my goal is to create products that deliver clarity, speed, and measurable impact.

Outside of work, you’ll probably find me running, cycling, or listening to a podcast (I think I listen to more podcasts than music at this point). That mix of movement, curiosity, and focus keeps me grounded and creative.

The Human Touch

Beyond the code; here is a glimpse into what keeps me curious, inspired, and occasionally off track.

Coffee or tea?

Coffee. I roast my own beans. That is all I'll say.

Favorite design tool?

Figma; minimal, fluid, and made for collaboration.

Go-to coding soundtrack?

Lately? Kenyan music. The last couple of years have produced absolute gems.

Most-used IDE?

VS Code; clean, extendable, and somehow feels personal.

Podcast obsession?

A mix of Mel Robbins, Diary of a CEO, and Financially Incorrect

When not coding?

You will probably find me cycling, running, or deep-diving into some random topic I got curious about.

What I Bring to the Table

I am a full-stack developer and designer based in Kenya, bridging the gap between design and engineering to turn complex ideas into clean, intuitive digital experiences. I design with empathy, code with precision, and build products that perform as beautifully as they look.

I collaborate with founders, teams, and individuals to craft scalable, user-centered products that balance aesthetics and performance. My focus is on clarity, speed, and thoughtful execution; creating digital solutions that not only work, but feel right.

Design-Led Thinking

With a strong background in UI/UX, I craft interfaces that are intuitive, accessible, and genuinely enjoyable to use.

Technical Expertise

Fluent in React.js, Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind, and Node.js; I build fast, reliable, and scalable web applications from front to back.

Performance & Accessibility

Every product I build is optimized for SEO, Core Web Vitals, and accessibility; clean code and fast load times, no shortcuts.

Collaborative Approach

I value open communication and iteration; the best products come from shared curiosity and clear collaboration.
