Senior software engineer building high-impact web and payment systems.

I’m Conrad, an independent full-stack developer based in Nairobi, Kenya. With over three years of production experience designing scalable web applications and REST APIs using React, Node.js, and TypeScript, I focus on building reliable, maintainable systems for founders and growing businesses.

I started Darnoc to give founders and business leaders a better alternative to bloated agencies. When you hire Darnoc, you get me directly: from initial database schema and API architecture to user interface polish and production deployment. No middle managers, no junior handoffs, and no bureaucratic overhead.

Direct Working Principles

Direct Collaboration: You talk directly with the engineer writing your code.

M-Pesa Specialists: STK Push, callbacks, and automatic bookkeeping with zero dropped payments.

Weekly Working Builds: You test live progress every 7 days. No radio silence.

Complete Ownership: Full code, database schemas, and documentation are 100% yours.

Working Process

How I work with you from concept to launch.

A structured, transparent delivery rhythm that keeps your project on budget and on schedule.

Discovery & Scope

Direct technical consultation with no middlemen

We review your goals, audit existing tools, and agree on a clear scope, timeline, and fixed budget. You talk directly with Conrad.

Architecture & Design

Clean blueprints before writing code

I map out screen layouts, database schemas, and integration points so you can review and approve exactly how everything works before development starts.

Weekly Working Milestones

Progress you can see and test every week

Every week you get a working build you can test directly on your phone or computer. Feedback is incorporated immediately without end-of-project surprises.

Launch & Handoff

Smooth deployment with full code ownership

I deploy your software, test under realistic conditions, verify M-Pesa payments, and hand over complete code ownership with clear documentation.
