My name is Maina W. and I have over 3 years of experience in the tech industry. I specialize in the following technologies: React, Amazon Web Services, Amazon DynamoDB, JavaScript, Firebase, etc.. Some of the notable projects I’ve worked on include: Skyhook Adventure - A Marketplace for Global Adventures, MyYard - Driving Car Dealership Success, Nx Toolkits - A Tool to Generate Firebase Functions in NX Monorepo, NPM Packages Lookup - The Ultimate Onboarding Extension for Developers. I am based in Nairobi, Kenya. I've successfully completed 4 projects while developing at Softaims.

I value a collaborative environment where shared knowledge leads to superior outcomes. I actively mentor junior team members, conduct thorough quality reviews, and champion engineering best practices across the team. I believe that the quality of the final product is a direct reflection of the team's cohesion and skill.

My experience at Softaims has refined my ability to effectively communicate complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders, ensuring project alignment from the outset. I am a strong believer in transparent processes and iterative delivery.

My main objective is to foster a culture of quality and accountability. I am motivated to contribute my expertise to projects that require not just technical skill, but also strong organizational and leadership abilities to succeed.

Experience Highlights

Skyhook Adventure - A Marketplace for Global Adventures

Skyhook Adventure is a marketplace platform for booking adventure trips worldwide with local guides. The system is built on AWS services, primarily using AWS Lambdas and AWS AppSync for APIs, with AWS CDK for resource orchestration. The user interface is a standard Next.js application that interacts with our APIs to perform various operations.

MyYard - Driving Car Dealership Success

The goal is to create a platform that allows car dealerships to easily build simple websites. These websites will feature customizable designs and will be powered by a robust content management system (CMS) for managing car listings. The platform will tightly integrate with social media, enabling features such as poster generation and seamless connections with Google Structured Data, Meta Ads, and TikTok Ads. This will allow dealerships to maintain a single source for their catalogue, while being SEO and pocket-friendly for smaller businesses.

Nx Toolkits - A Tool to Generate Firebase Functions in NX Monorepo

This is a set of plugins for NX that facilitates the integration of Firebase Functions as a native NX application. By using these plugins, you can leverage the benefits of NX, such as code sharing and streamlined project management, while keeping all your projects in a single repository (mono-repo).

NPM Packages Lookup - The Ultimate Onboarding Extension for Developers

NPM has countless packages, and we often encounter ones we're not familiar with. This extension helps by providing links to the NPM package, homepage, and Git repository for any package used in your codebase. NPM Packages Lookup is an essential onboarding extension for VS Code. When you come across unfamiliar JavaScript or TypeScript packages, simply hover over the imported package. You'll receive information from NPM, including the current version and direct links to the NPM package, homepage, and Git repository.
