Hi, I'm Victor

As a Software Engineer based in Nairobi, Kenya, I build enterprise solutions at Craft Silicon Limited that transform how businesses operate. Specializing in TypeScript and Node.js development, I create intuitive ERP tools that help SMEs scale their operations efficiently. My focus is on delivering robust business applications that work reliably even with the occasional infrastructure challenges unique to our region. Using modern web technologies and real-time data processing, I've developed systems that handle everything from inventory management to automated reporting - making daily operations seamless for businesses across East Africa. The best part of my role is seeing how our solutions enable local entrepreneurs to compete effectively in the digital economy. When I'm not architecting new features, you'll find me optimizing performance to ensure our applications run smoothly on diverse network conditions, because every millisecond counts when you're helping businesses grow.
