I’m Caleb, a backend-focused full-stack developer based in Kenya.
I enjoy building reliable, efficient and maintainable backend systems while still being able to connect them to clean, functional frontends.
These days I’m focused on:
- Node.js, Java, Spring Boot, Go
- REST APIs, database design and server architecture
- Writing CLI tools and automation scripts
- Building small, thoughtful projects with practical use
Some stuff I built:
- JarRun – A CLI tool to run, restart, and monitor Java applications with logs.
- svault-go – A secure, encrypted command-line secret manager written in Go.
- recipe-finder-API – A REST API for searching recipes and managing favorites.
- gmail_sending_api – A Node.js backend service for sending emails programmatically.
- cipher-ui – An interactive web app simulating the Enigma cipher machine.
- image-uploader – A full-stack app for uploading and managing images (React + Node.js + MinIO).
- proxmox-lxc-postgresql-installer – A script to automate PostgreSQL setup in Proxmox containers.
