# about

Engineer by craft, tinkerer by instinct.

> I'm Maingi Kelvin — a developer between Nairobi and the rest of the internet. I build products that feel considered: fast where it counts, quiet where it should be, and a little playful in the right places.

> My work lives at the intersection of engineering and design. I care about shipping clean code, but I care just as much about the weight of a transition, the feel of a cursor, and the first ten seconds a new user spends with something I've made.

> Outside client work: I tinker with creative coding, open-source dev tools, and short notes on the craft of building for the web.
