Hi, I’m Kaki 👋

I’m a software developer based in Manchester, building full-stack products with TypeScript, React, Python and PostgreSQL.

My route into tech began with more than a decade in visual storytelling, communications and UX. That background still shapes how I build software today: I care about the people behind the data, the clarity of an interface, and whether a product genuinely solves the right problem.

What I’m working with

• Frontend: React, TypeScript, Next.js, Tailwind CSS
• Backend: Python, FastAPI, Node.js, Express
• Data: PostgreSQL, PostGIS, SQLAlchemy
• Testing: Pytest, Jest, Playwright, TDD
• Cloud and tools: GCP, Docker, GitHub Actions, Git

My recent work includes interactive mapping and data products, multi-tenant authentication, REST APIs, CSV data pipelines, automated testing and cloud deployments.

I’m especially interested in Product Engineering, API design and AI-powered products — the space where technical decisions, user needs and thoughtful design meet.

Beyond the code

• 📷 Photography and solo-travel films
• 🎨 Visual storytelling and UX
• 🚍 Exploring cities — including a chapter as a London bus driver
• 🐾 Dreaming of future road trips with a dog, a cat and a camper
