I BUILD FOR the web — where logic meets alchemy
I build web applications that combine full-stack engineering with interior design principles. Based in Nairobi, Kenya, I create digital experiences that are structurally sound, intuitive to navigate, and visually engaging.

Structure is not the enemy of beauty — it is its architecture.

Who I Am

Where code meets
spatial thinking.

I'm Finley O Nyabuga — a full-stack developer and UI/UX designer based in Nairobi, currently in my third year studying Interior Design with IT at Maseno University. My dual background means I approach digital products the way an architect approaches a building: with deep care for structure, flow, and how a space feels to inhabit.

I've shipped 20+ production projects — social platforms, analytics dashboards, library management systems, real estate platforms — and I'm currently building StayKE, a house-booking platform that connects Maseno students with landlords, and iterating on Rilo, a full social & dating platform with an 8-strategy match engine. Beyond code, I create graphic design work and publish original philosophical writing under the Tales pen name.

StayKE

A web platform and app that connects Maseno students with landlords — ending the days lost hunting for a house, one booking at a time.

Rilo

Full-stack social app with an 8-strategy match engine, real-time Firebase messaging, and premium mobile UX.

Current project
StayKE
House booking for Maseno students

Every semester, students lose precious days walking from plot to plot, hunting for a place to live. StayKE is a web platform and app that connects students directly with landlords — so finding a house takes minutes, not weeks, and the time goes back to what students are actually there to do.

DEV

The Developer

PHP, MySQL, Firebase, JavaScript — the stack I reach for when building production systems that need to last. I obsess over clean architecture, sensible APIs, and code that another developer can actually read and extend. Performance isn't a feature; it's the baseline. From M-Pesa webhooks to match-engine algorithms, I build for real Kenyan infrastructure.

DES

The Designer

Studying Interior Design at Maseno University has rewired how I see interfaces. I think in terms of space, flow, hierarchy, and sensation. A screen is a room — it should feel welcoming, purposeful, and memorable. That same spatial intelligence extends into my graphic design work: brand identities, editorial layouts, and visual systems built with the same precision as any codebase.
