What people say about working with me
“Mugo is a sharp, capable engineer who picks up new technologies fast and applies them well. He joined as an intern and grew into our Chief Product Officer and mobile lead, a trajectory that says a lot about his drive and range. He's absorbed and put to real use things like OAuth, OIDC, SvelteKit, Kotlin Multiplatform, and Gradle in short order. It's been a pleasure working with him across design, web, and mobile. His instincts on security and architectural trade offs, especially as the app moved from early stage to scale, were a real asset. I'd work with him again without hesitation.”
“Lazarus delivered an exceptional platform that beautifully showcases our luxury properties. His frontend work with SvelteKit resulted in a fast, elegant website that our clients love. He's professional, creative, and consistently delivers beyond expectations.”
“Mugo is one of the best frontend developers I've worked with. His code is clean, maintainable, and always well-documented. The collaboration was seamless—he understands the full stack and makes integration effortless. I'd work with him again in a heartbeat.”
