Senior Software Engineer • Nairobi, Kenya
Hi, I’m Jacob Kyule.
I build modern web, backend, and mobile solutions with a strong focus on clean architecture, scalability, and user-centered digital experiences.
About Me
Building technology with both technical depth and human understanding.
My name is Jacob Kyule, and I am a Senior Software Engineer based in Nairobi, Kenya. I bring a unique blend of technical expertise and social science insight to software development, allowing me to build solutions that are not only technically sound, but also deeply user-centered.
I hold a Master’s degree in Computer Systems and a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology. This combination has shaped the way I approach technology — with an appreciation for both system design and human behavior. It enables me to create digital experiences that are practical, scalable, and meaningful to the people who use them.
Over the years, I have built hands-on experience in web and mobile development, working across the full software lifecycle from idea to implementation. My portfolio includes more than 10 projects that reflect my growth, creativity, and commitment to delivering high-quality digital products.
My technical toolkit includes frontend technologies such as Next.js, React, Redux, Bootstrap, Tailwind CSS, and Laravel Filament; backend development with Node.js, CakePHP, and Laravel; mobile development with React Native, Expo, and Kotlin; databases including PostgreSQL, SQL Server, MySQL, and MongoDB; as well as tools and infrastructure such as Git, GitHub, Postman, Bash, Zsh, Linux virtual machines, and Microsoft Azure.
I am passionate about continuous growth, meaningful collaboration, and building software that creates real value. I’m always open to connecting with other professionals, contributing to impactful projects, and exploring new opportunities in the ever-evolving world of technology.
