Developer.
Designer.
Builder.

I build with both hands — one in code, one in composition. The result: digital spaces that feel right, work hard, and last.

I'm Finley O Nyabuga — a full-stack developer and designer who grew up between code and sketchbooks. Based in Nairobi, I build web applications that don't just function but feel intentional. My work spans social platforms, real estate tools, analytics dashboards, and library systems. What ties it all together: clean architecture, honest interfaces, and the belief that good software is invisible.

I came to development through design — interior design, to be exact. That lens rewired me: I think about flow, hierarchy, and how a user moves through a screen like someone walking into a room. Every component is a threshold. Every interaction is a gesture. That's why I'm never satisfied with something that works but looks clumsy — nor something beautiful that breaks. Both have to be true. That's the bar.

Right now I'm building Rilo — a full social and dating platform on PHP, MySQL, and Firebase — and taking on freelance projects that demand both craft and technical depth. If you're building something that matters, let's talk. I'm not interested in shortcuts. I'm interested in things done right.
