About Me

Hi, I'm Jonathan Gikabu, a Full-Stack Software Engineer and civic-minded problem solver. I specialize in designing and building scalable, reliable web and mobile platforms, while also applying structured thinking to civic initiatives in Meru.My journey began with a deep curiosity about technology and systems. Over the years, I’ve honed my skills across multiple tech stacks, including Swift, Golang, Kotlin, and JavaScript, applying the right tools for each project to deliver performant and maintainable solutions. I believe the best products emerge when technical rigor meets real-world needs — whether that’s a digital platform or a policy solution.

My Engineering Philosophy

I focus on clarity, correctness, and long-term maintainability. Every system I build is designed to be robust, easy to understand, and scalable. I emphasize thoughtful design, iterative testing, and careful attention to performance, ensuring the solutions I deliver create real value for users.

Civic & Leadership Vision

Beyond code, I am actively engaged in civic initiatives and public service. I approach leadership with the same principles I use in engineering: analysis, accountability, and practical solutions. My goal is to leverage technology and data to improve governance, enable inclusive growth, and solve real-world challenges in my community.

What Drives Me

I thrive on solving complex problems, learning continuously, and translating ideas into actionable solutions. Seeing a system or initiative work reliably and make a meaningful impact — whether digital or civic — is what keeps me motivated.

Outside of Work

When I’m not coding or working on civic projects, I enjoy exploring new technologies, collaborating with like-minded creators, and contributing to open-source platforms.Thanks for stopping by. Feel free to browse my projects or get in touch if you'd like to collaborate!
