Understand the problem.
Own the outcome.

Choose the right problem.

I work with product, design, and customers to understand what needs to change. Then I decide what to build, what to simplify, and what to leave out.

Care about the experience.

I care about the details that make software easier to use: clear navigation, helpful feedback, and workflows that make sense to the person using them.

Own what happens next.

I plan for failed requests, changing integrations, and the work of running a product. I build in SEO foundations and review performance week by week.

Hands-on engineer.
Product-minded
by nature.

Liplan LekipisingBased in Kenya. Working across the stack.

I like the work between “we have an idea” and “people depend on this.”

I’m a senior software engineer with experience across SaaS, agricultural fintech, learning platforms, and client products. I build across the stack, work closely with product and design, and help teams turn complex requirements into clear decisions.

My leadership stays close to the work: writing code, reviewing changes, mentoring engineers, and clearing roadblocks. I also build and operate my own products, Timi and Yield.
