Nick Langat

I am a software engineer with 7 years of experience in designing, building, deploying and maintaining production web applications and APIS.

I like to think myself as a high-agency person who doesn't wait to be told what to do, wait for clarity, tools, permission or a perfect plan. I step in and observe what's broken or missing, what's needed and start moving even if I am wrong at first.

Because I unconditionally love writing software, I have built my own things including watchdock, useclarity, zanari and fiscal ai just to mention a few, taking ownership end to end and building from 0 → 1. If I publish something, I'd like it to look nice otherwise I won't use it myself.

I have also been privileged to work with remote, globally distributed teams collaborating with product managers, designers and other engineers to build well architected backend APIs and beautifully crafted interfaces through user centered design. These include Next AI, Elevate HR, Shukran and Privatizegroup

I have been able to use LLM tools to not only rapidly prototype and validate complex idea but also write good quality production grade software used by thousands of users.

In terms of teams I prefer and what I am looking for in my next role, I'd like to find a place with minimal bureaucracy and short feedback loops where engineers have direct access to product and design decisions. A remote-friendly, lean team that provides opportunities to grow, build my career and push me to become the best version I can be as an individual and an engineer.
