Kamau Wanyee — Full-Stack Product Engineer
Product-focused full-stack developer splitting time between React Native, TypeScript services, and the backend glue that keeps it all running. I've figured out how to build what people actually want and now I'm learning (the hard way) how to make it reliable. I'm also a good translation layer between technical and non-technical stakeholders.
These are my fields notes; things I've worked through, patterns I've reached for, and ideas worth writing down before I forget them. Currently building ambient listening and documentation software for home healthcare and hospice agencies at Patrium Health.
