John Muthee Maina

I am a dedicated Full-Stack Software Engineer and IT Support Specialist with strong hands-on experience in building secure, scalable, and user-centered digital systems. My work spans modern web application development, mobile app development, cloud deployment, and practical IT support in enterprise environments. Over time, I have developed a balanced skill set that combines software engineering excellence with deep technical support and infrastructure management capabilities.

I have worked professionally as an ICT Support Intern at the United States International University (USIU–Africa), where I provided first-line technical support to students and staff. My responsibilities included resolving hardware, software, and networking issues, managing Active Directory user accounts, configuring systems, and ensuring reliable campus-wide connectivity. This role strengthened my troubleshooting, communication, and operational efficiency skills, while exposing me to structured IT workflows and real-world support challenges.

As a freelance Full-Stack Developer, I work with both local and international clients to design, develop, and deploy complete web and mobile solutions. I focus on using modern technologies such as Laravel, React.js, Node.js, Flutter, MySQL, Docker, and AWS to deliver responsive interfaces, clean APIs, secure backend logic, and scalable system architectures.

I have successfully delivered multiple end-to-end client projects, including DigitalBark (a stock market education and e-commerce platform), KhonaMart POS (a retail management and sales system), and SereneWings Caregiving (a homecare and wellness platform). In each of these, I handled system design, UI implementation, API development, integration of payment gateways, dashboards, analytics tools, and deployment. I ensure that every project I deliver is optimized for speed, security, SEO, performance, and user experience.

My technical strengths include programming in Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, PHP, Java, and C. I work with frameworks such as Laravel, React.js, Node.js, Django, Flutter, and Angular. I am also experienced in cloud deployment, Linux administration, Bash scripting, Docker, CI/CD pipelines, NGINX, RESTful APIs, microservices, and scalable architecture design. Additionally, I bring strong IT support capabilities — system installation, maintenance, troubleshooting, networking, remote support, and helpdesk operations.

I am passionate about building meaningful digital solutions that solve real problems. Whether developing a complete system from scratch or supporting an existing infrastructure, I focus on quality, clarity, communication, and long-term reliability. I am available for freelance, part-time, or full-time work, and I look forward to helping clients turn great ideas into secure, modern, and efficient technology products.
