Charles Ngumo

I am also a passionate Web developer who has worked as a hands on full stack web developer with responsibility of developing responsive web applications over the last 4 years in different industries. I am equally proficient in front-end interactivity and back-end functionality, which means I can produce entire digital solutions with concept to deployment.

Professional Experience:

  Web Developer  Freelance

  2022 - Present

  I code and implement responsive websites and full-stack web applications to various clients. I have been involved in incorporation of secure payment gateways like M-Pesa, Till, Paybill and PayPal into my work, where I do upwards of 200 transactions in e-commerce websites that I have established. I develop full-stack apps based on Firebase real-time databases and authentication, and cloud functions. When working outside the office, I work hand in hand with clients and help them collect requirements, give frequent updates and facilitate the timely delivery of the project. So far, I was able to complete 15+ projects.

  Web Developer, Junior The Digital Solutions Agency.

  2020 - 2022

  I have helped in developing and supporting client websites in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I optimized and fixed the existing codebases and was able to optimize the performance of site by 30 percent. To make sure that my designs were compatible across all browsers, I used responsive designs and took an active part in code reviews and team sprint meetings.

Skills & Services:

  Front-End: JavaScript, HTML 5, CSS 3, responsive design, cross-browsing.

  Back-End: Python, Firebase (Firestore, Authentication, Cloud functions) REST APIs.

  Integrations: Payments: Paybill, PayPal, Till, M-Pesa.

  Tools: Netlify, Git, VS Code

Notable Projects:

  Chukatradenest E-commerce site with product description, shopping cart and Paybill payment system.

  St. Monicah School School system and Umoja Guest Hotel: School management and hotel website that uses Firebase to run its functions.

  Firebase Task Manager: Real-time, user-authenticated full-stack task management application.

I am a holistic developer - these are not the pieces of code I write; I am a problem solver. Whenever I am debugging a complex system, writing a query that is more efficient or designing a new web service, I aim at adding value that meets the business objectives. I am not afraid to work on my own in the remote setting, create my own schedule, and effectively communicate with stakeholders.

I am now finding opportunities in which I can be able to apply my full-stack skills, work on meaningful projects, and further develop as a developer in a working remote team. In case you are searching a person who is trustworthy, technically skilled, and is really eager to create high-quality software, I would be happy to meet you.
