Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJoe Ng'ethe is a Senior Frontend Engineer based in Nairobi with 11 years of experience building user-centric web and mobile products for startups, agencies, NGOs and major brands like Diageo, KLM and Coca-Cola. He specializes in React, Redux and GraphQL but pragmatically chooses the simplest technology that solves the problem—even plain HTML—and often contributes backend Node.js, PHP and Python code to deliver end-to-end solutions. Joe blends UI/UX design skills with engineering, taking products from ideation and low-fi mocks to high-fidelity, clickable applications used daily by real users. He has led frontend teams and shipped internal tools and dashboards at scale (e.g., Twiga Foods) and built compliant integrations such as a tax filing system tied to Kenya Revenue Authority workflows. Quietly entrepreneurial, he co-founded a venture and frequently consults on complex systems like digital insurance and claims platforms, demonstrating a rare mix of design sensibility and full-stack pragmatism.
