About

I'm Kyalo Kitili, a full-stack developer and product engineer based in Nairobi. I've spent the last several years designing, building, and shipping web and mobile products for startups and teams across Europe, the US, Australia, and Kenya.

Right now I work as a Full Stack Developer at Ninjabet.it, where I help architect, develop, deploy, and maintain a scalable sports betting tips platform serving hundreds of thousands of users. My work spans front-end experiences with React and Astro, backend services in Django on top of MySQL, and operations on AWS using Docker-based deployments.

Previously I've led and contributed to products at Akili Ventures (fintech), AEROMETREX (mapping and data visualisation), TrendPro Systems (client projects and product builds), Lori Systems (logistics platforms), and EBAFOSA (climate action tools). Across these roles I've worked closely with product, design, and backend teams to ship features that balance user experience, performance, and business goals.
