Most websites look good but perform poorly. I craft performant, accessible frontends that grow traffic, improve retention, and make design systems shine.
I’m Eric Maina Gathoni, a Frontend Developer specialising in building web experiences that balance performance, design, and purpose.
With 5 years of experience in web development working with React, Next.js, Astro, and headless CMS architectures, I help brands and businesses create interfaces that not only look great but also perform exceptionally well.
My approach centres on performance optimisation and accessibility best practices, ensuring that every user enjoys a seamless experience regardless of their device or abilities.
Whether you’re launching a product, scaling a brand, or modernising your online presence, I build digital experiences that perform as beautifully as they look. Let’s create a site that moves your business forward.
Whether you need help optimizing Core Web Vitals, boosting organic traffic, or building a headless CMS integration that empowers your team; I'm ready to collaborate.
