Peter Mwangi Karanga

I am a full‑stack developer, technical trainer, and freelance Shopify specialist with over three years of experience building scalable web solutions and empowering learners through practical, hands‑on education. My career bridges two worlds: the technical precision of software development and the human‑centered philosophy of teaching. This unique blend allows me to deliver not only functional code but also meaningful learning experiences that help others grow in the digital economy.

As a developer, I specialize in Python, Django, JavaScript, and modern frontend frameworks such as React. I am equally comfortable working with backend APIs, database management, and UI prototyping tools like Figma and Canva. My freelance work has focused heavily on Shopify Liquid theme customization, where I’ve helped small and medium‑sized businesses in Kenya optimize their storefronts, improve conversion rates, and align their branding with business goals. I take pride in creating accessible, SEO‑friendly web pages that balance technical performance with user‑centered design.

In addition to development, I have served as a technical trainer at the Kenya School of TVET and as a frontend developer at PLP Academy. These roles sharpened my ability to break down complex concepts into digestible modules, design assessments that measure authentic learning, and mentor peers through collaborative code reviews. I believe in inclusive design and educational scaffolding, ensuring that learners of diverse backgrounds can thrive in technical fields.

Beyond coding and training, I am deeply interested in educational psychology, startup ideation, and freelance entrepreneurship. I see freelancing not just as a career path but as a sustainable model for empowering individuals and communities. My long‑term goal is to integrate educational philosophy into technical practice, building solutions that are both innovative and socially impactful.

Clients who work with me can expect clarity, reliability, and a collaborative spirit. I approach every project with structured communication, actionable feedback, and a commitment to delivering results that align with business objectives. Whether it’s building a Shopify store, designing a data‑driven web application, or crafting technical documentation, I bring both technical expertise and thoughtful problem‑solving to the table.

I am currently available for part‑time or full‑time freelance projects and eager to collaborate with clients who value quality, creativity, and long‑term growth. Let’s build something impactful together.
