About
Godwin Ochieng
Software Engineer · Full-Stack Developer · Product Designer
Lead at Brightex Solutions
I'm a software engineer and full-stack developer, and I design the products I build too. I take them end to end, from the first sketch of the interface to the database, the APIs and the integrations that make a system useful day to day.
I lead Brightex Solutions from Nairobi and work directly with every client, so the person who scopes your project is the same person accountable for delivering it.
I don't do it alone. I work with a team of dedicated developers, designers and specialists, and on larger projects we join forces so each part is handled by someone who does it well and the whole system is delivered on time.
