Erick Ngugi

Full-StackSoftware Engineer

I build and ship full-stack web products end to end: polished interfaces up front, solid APIs and services behind them, and the judgment to keep both sides coherent in production.

About

Full-stack software engineer with 4+ years of production web experience, currently building customer-facing apps and back-end APIs in Java/Spring Boot and Symfony (PHP) for a remittance platform at TalkRemit.

Works across React, Next.js, Vue and Nuxt.js on the front end and Java/Spring Boot, NestJS, PHP/Symfony and Node.js/Express on the back end. Comfortable pairing with teammates, unblocking peers, and supporting the wider team so delivery stays clear and collaborative. A natural fit for small remote teams.
