Hi, I'm Ezra Karanja!
Mentor at Belt of Truth Mentorship
Software Engineering student and self-taught full-stack developer with two years of hands-on experience building and shipping production web applications end-to-end, from database design to live deployment. Founded and currently run a multi-vendor marketplace startup, giving direct experience with product ownership, client communication, and independent delivery — skills suited to distributed, remote-first teams.

Seeking a remote software development role or internship with a Germany-based company, working from Nairobi (GMT+2).

Experience
Littledove Diapers Initiative
Web Developer
January 2025 - Present
Built and maintain the organization's full website: donation panels, a photo gallery, corporate partnership tiers, and a marathon registration hub for quarterly distribution events.
Diagnosed a persistent photo-loss bug traced to the hosting platform's ephemeral filesystem and resolved it by migrating image storage to Supabase Storage, permanently eliminating data loss.
Shipped an admin-managed homepage hero-image feature so non-technical staff can update the site's visual presentation without developer involvement.
Queen of Wigs
Founder & Developer
January 2025 - Present
Founded and built a multi-vendor marketplace connecting wig vendors with customers, modeled on Alibaba-style multi-seller platforms — owning the product end-to-end from concept to live product.
Designed and implemented a subscription and monetization system on Supabase/PostgreSQL, including a plans table, vendor subscription tracking, and automated database triggers for enrollment and product-limit enforcement.
Built a public pricing page and a live vendor dashboard, giving vendors real-time visibility into subscription status and product limits.
Authored a complete pitch and development proposal — product vision, technical architecture (React/Next.js, Supabase, MediaPipe), a 20-week phased roadmap, and a $60,000 budget — used to guide investment and development decisions.
