Hi, my name is
Maxwel Khadambi.
I build things for the web.
I'm a software developer based in Nairobi, Kenya, who loves building web experiences that are both beautiful and functional. Whether it's helping NGOs amplify their impact or empowering local businesses to grow online, I bring technical expertise with a creative touch.
About Me
I enjoy creating things that live on the internet, whether that be websites, applications, or anything in between.
I have spent the last 5+ years building software that matters. I've written code that helps climate scientists share data with policymakers, helped county governments digitize their services, and built retail systems running across multiple branches in the country. I believe the best software is invisible — it just works, beautifully. That conviction drives how I approach every line of code, every API, and every user interface I design. My focus is on building accessible, user-friendly web applications that solve real problems.
Here are a few technologies I've been working with recently:
- JavaScript (ES6+)
- React
- Python
- Django
- Bootstrap
- Tailwind CSS
- Node.js
- PostgreSQL
- MongoDB
Certifications:
- AI Fundamentals
- AWS Cloud Practitioner
- Web Dev (Django & Python)
- Software Engineering
- Digital Skills
