01
Slow
Someone who opens the thing they just built on a cheap phone, on a bundle they paid for themselves, before they call it done. Not a simulator with the network throttled. The actual phone.
Fast on good internet is not a result. Fast on bad internet is the whole job.
02
Plain
Someone who can say what they built to the person paying for it, without a glossary, and without making them feel small for asking a second time.
If the client cannot repeat back what it does, it has not been explained yet.
03
Finish
Someone who cares about the last tenth — the error message, the empty state, the line that confirms exactly what just happened and what it cost.
That tenth is where the client lives every day, long after launch week.
04
Keys
Someone who hands everything over gladly. Accounts in the client's name, passwords theirs, code theirs, no quiet copy kept in case the relationship ends.
Lock-in is not a business model here. Handing over is part of the job, not a favour.
05
Here
Someone who builds for M-PESA, for WhatsApp as the normal way to talk, for a power cut halfway through a form, and for a phone that is the only computer in the house.
Kenya is not a constraint to design around. It is the brief.
06
Dead air
Nothing on this frequency. No vacancy, no shortlist, no quiet collection of details against a role that does not exist.
When that changes, this page changes, and it will say so in plain words rather than in a job title.
