About

Hi, I'm Charles Njenga — a passionate Software Developer with over 5 years of experience building clean, scalable, and user-focused web applications.

I specialize in frontend development, with strong expertise in technologies like Vue.js, Nuxt, React, Next.js, and Tailwind CSS. I've also worked across the full stack with Laravel, GraphQL, and various deployment and CI/CD tools. My journey has taken me from developing robust full-stack solutions at startups to leading frontend implementations for international clients in dynamic, cross-functional teams.

Currently, I'm working with NoCode Rebels, where I build custom solutions with WeWeb, helping businesses bring their ideas to life quickly and beautifully. I'm deeply invested in writing clean, maintainable code and delivering seamless user experiences. Whether it's creating interactive UI components, integrating complex APIs, or optimizing performance, I enjoy turning ideas into reliable digital products.
