I'm Tevin Owino
Full-stack software engineer based in Nairobi, Kenya. For the past 3+ years I've been building production-grade software across EdTech, FinTech, AgriTech, and AI — platforms that real people depend on every day.
I'm also a software instructor, a founder, and someone who genuinely loves the craft. I bring business thinking to engineering decisions and engineering rigour to product thinking — and I make the teams I join better.

My Approach
From first conversation to production deployment — a deliberate, transparent process that delivers software worth using.
Understand
I dig into your business goals, user needs, and constraints before writing a single line of code.
Architect
I design a clean, scalable system architecture — component boundaries, data models, and API contracts first.
Build
Incremental delivery with clean code, comprehensive testing, and early feedback loops at every stage.
Ship
Rigorous QA, performance optimization, and production deployment with monitoring from day one.
Iterate
Post-launch support, feature extensions, and strategic guidance as your product evolves.

Value I Add to Your Team
I'm a focused engineer who ships real software for real users — with deep full-stack expertise, strong product instincts, and a track record of delivering independently.
Production-Grade Code
I write software built to last — performant, secure, and maintainable. No shortcuts that become your team's problem six months later.
Full-Stack Ownership
Frontend to backend, mobile to cloud — I own the entire delivery cycle, reducing coordination overhead and shipping faster.
Africa-Context Engineering
I build for real constraints: low bandwidth, mobile-first users, and local payment systems — expertise that's hard to find in a generalist hire.
Collaborative by Default
I document, communicate early, and treat code review as a knowledge-sharing exercise. I make the teams I join better.
Engineer. Builder. Instructor.
I'm Tevin Owino — a full-stack software engineer with 3+ years shipping production software across fintech, edtech, agritech, and climate. I bring both the technical depth to build complex systems and the product instinct to know what actually matters.
I founded Velion Consulting to deliver custom software for African startups, and I teach full-stack development at Starehe Boys' Centre. I'm now looking to bring that same execution energy to a high-impact engineering team.
Fintech Engineering
Engineer at Finite Pay — built real-time payment systems that scaled to 500+ users and 1,000+ daily transactions in a production fintech environment.
Founder-Level Ownership
Founded Velion Consulting and delivered four client projects across EdTech, AgriTech, FinTech, and Climate — managing everything from architecture to deployment.
Instructor & Mentor
Teaching full-stack development at Starehe Boys' Centre. Students have shipped real apps — a sign I communicate complex topics clearly.
Let's Work Together
I'm actively looking for engineering roles where I can ship high-impact software. If you're building something meaningful — or hiring someone who does — I'd love to connect.
