What people say about me

Here are a few lines from people I've worked with

"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."
