Hi, I'm Justus Buyu.
I'm a full-stack software engineer building useful software that offers real value — currently at Angaza Elimu in Nairobi. I mostly work with TypeScript, React, Next.js, Node and Postgres.
I also write: about engineering in Articles, and about nature, meaning and the sacred in Philosophia.
